There was a MEAKER's shop in Above Bar Southampton back in the 1950's-60's which sold school uniforms and other clothing. I went to Clark's College and it was the only place to get our school uniforms Chris . ----- Original Message ----- From: "ruby lock" <rlock@shaw.ca> To: <eng-hampshire@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2008 9:26 PM Subject: Re: [ENG-HANTS] William Meaker > Lesley > > I am sorry I did not respond earlier but I have been in hospital.

So pleased to hear from you. I was worried I couldn't find any recent posts from you and spent an hor today posting to people who might know you so you will probably get a torrent. So sorry to hear you were in an accident and hope you are well on the way to recovery. Hope you have a good time at the wedding. Just to make it more complicated - there are a lot of family secrets associated with the Meakers who emigrated to Canada - not so much with William as far as I know - but William's sisters who ended up in Saskatchewan used a number of surnames. A couple of years back I found their descendents through a genealogy site. My brother also has my mum's address book and I think there was an Alberta address for a couple of cousins - I will get him to look it out and let you know. Meanwhile very best wishes Lesley -----Original Message----- From: eng-hampshire-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-hampshire-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of ruby lock Sent: 25 September 2008 21:26 To: eng-hampshire@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ENG-HANTS] William Meaker Lesley I am sorry I did not respond earlier but I have been in hospital.

Lesley I did take a quick look and yes we are definiteley connected as my William I am researching on was married to Pansy and Phyllis who married David Tyyseland was the mother of my friends daughter in law. I am doing the research for her and they had very limited information to start from. Phyllis's siblings were as you stated Muriel b 12 Oct 1931,Kenneth b 3 Apr 1934, Phyllis b 24 Jun 1937, Donald b 5 Apr 1940, and Doris whose date I do not have.. They suspected that William was married before Pansy not never proved it. William and Pansy both died here in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. William on the 14 Mar 1973 and Pansy on 25 Mar 1981. Phyllis is still here in Lethbridge and her husband David is deceased. Kenneth went to Tronto, Ontario, Canada, Donald went to Cranbrooke, British Columbia ( whichis only about a 3 hour drive from here), Doris was in Vancouver and maried Ray Williams. Muriel married Walter Kirkman. Like I said I will go over everything with greater details and be in touch again the first of the week but meantimes this at least shows you were my research is coming from. And I do think you are right I was missing a generation and that makes much more sense. Thanks again and I will be in touch. Ruby

Hello Listers Francis OSMAN married Susanna ROBINS (d/o John ROBINS and Sarah née TURLINGTON) in St Mary's Portsea on 18 Nov 1774. Their daughter Elizabeth was baptised in the same church on 10 Apr 1778. On 15 Jul 1787, Susanna OSMAN widow married George ROE by licence in St Mary's - I think it is Alverstoke this time, not Portsea. Two questions - 1. Can anyone help me find the burial of Francis OSMAN (between 1778 & 1787), please? I've checked the Hampshire Burial Index CD which I have, but to no avail. 2. Can anyone point me in the right direction for finding a burial or a marriage for Elizabeth. She's the only known child of Francis and Susanna, so I'd like to see if she is a 'dead end' or the beginning of a growing twig! Many thanks Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia

Thank you so much, Sandra, for the exact date of Fanny Hobbs' baptism. I only had the year. Every little bit of information helps. I was surprised to discover that the Hobbs family dates back to the 1500s in Alton. Our ties with the area ended when my grandmother emigrated to Canada in 1913 and the rest of her family scattered to various parts of England and Wales. Eleanor _________________________________________________________________

I am exploring a new branch on my family tree and would like to hear from anyone who might have the FRENCH or HOBBS family in their tree. My ggg grandmother was Frances (Fanny) Hobbs b. 1787 in Alton, married to William French of Alton on 23 June, 1806. Their children were Frances Eliza b. 1808; George Henry b. 1814; Stephen John b. 1817; Charles Thomas b. 1820; Elizabeth Sarah b. c. 1822; Frederick William b. 1824; Mary Emma b. 1827, all born in Alton. I believe her parents were William HOBBS and Frances RANDELL but sources are sketchy. They were possibly married in September 1784 in Alton.

William CAMPER (born London, date unknown) founder of the world-famous Gosport ship- and yacht-building concern Camper & Nicholsons, appears to have retired to Curdridge, Hants in about 1860. He died there (or in Droxford) in 1863. I've come across references to, but no detail about, Curdridge Inclosure, where he was enumerated in the 1861 Census, and Camper House, Curdridge. Does anyone happen to know anything about these places, or about Camper's time in Curdridge? And is anyone knowledgeable about the Camper family? It seems that he had no male heir, although he did have daughters (1) Mary Ann, who married her father's clerk, Robert Storey, (2) and, perhaps, Susanna. I'm waiting for a copy of his will which might shed more light on all this. My Internet searches have not been productive. I'm not related to the Camper family. My interest is in Gosport history. Thanks, Peter Gawn Sechelt, B.C., Canada.

Hi, Does anyone have access to a transcript of the baptisms for Lymington, Hampshire for 1802 please ? Unfortunately, I do not know if this was Boldre or St.Thomas & Allsaints. I am trying to trace my 4xG-Grandfather, William Henry BROWNE who, I have been told, was born or baptised on 1st May 1802 in Lymington, Hampshire, but I can't seem to locate him in the IGI. He appears in the 1841 census, but died in Greenwich in 1849, aged 47, so just missed the 1851 and a confirmation of his birthplace (just my luck !). I know from his second marriage cert that his father was a builder called William Joseph BROWNE. I would be very grateful for any assistance. Cheers, Geoff Browne.
