Hi List Had an amazing breakthrough with my HINES/HAINES family yesterday, a cousin went to Wiltshire Records Office & found baptism, marriage & burial records for our family. So we are now back to John HAINES (born abt 1753) and his wife Elizabeth (abt 1758). They had at least 5 children, all baptised at Donhead St Andrew, in Wiltshire. James, our ancestor, was baptised 16 April 1780 in Donhead St Andrew Wiltshire. He was in Frater Lane, Elson, Gosport, with a family in 1841 with children born from about 1802 onwards in Gosport/Alverstoke. I am puzzled as to the move from Wiltshire to Gosport, which was before 1802. Mode of transport? - Donhead St Andrew seemed to have a canal system, but not sure when that dates from. If anyone can suppy help/advice on this puzzle, we would really appreciate it. Rita
