Hi Listers, How likely is it that a nickname would be quoted on a marriage certificate? I found a marriage for Henry Darley & SALLY Huntingford on the IGI. I've also found 6 baptisms for children of Henry & SARAH Darley, again on the IGI. The marriage was in Alverstoke in 1801, & the baptisms all in Saint Mary's Portsea, from 1806 through to 1822. I'm hoping that the marriage refers to the parents of these children. Do you think I'm on the right track? Many thanks. Lesley Baxendale Colwyn Bay, N Wales

No, and they still don't. -- Charani (UK) Oh, I thought I had to produce my birth certificate many years ago - or maybe it was that we both had to turn up in person to register, beforehand. It's so long ago I've forgotten! Carol

Is there an online listing of illegitimate births for 1866? The birth in question is Julia Emily Griffin. All the rest of her siblings were born in Winchester in the Worthys. Her mother may have been either Mary Anne or Jane Griffin both born in Winchester. Father is unknown. In fact she is a bit of a conundrum as there is so much fluxuation regarding her birth. She was actually born in London (Islington) in 1866 and not Hampshire. The registration detail per FreeBMD is Julia E Griffin Mar 1866, Islington 1b 294. In the 1871 census she is shown as Eliza Julia born 1866, the granddaughter of George and Sophia. In the 1881 census she is shown as Julia E born 1863, the sister of Thomas Griffin. As she is my great grandmother, I would like to know more about her!!! Thank you, Margot, USA --- http://USFamily.Net/dialup.html - $8.25/mo! -- http://www.usfamily.net/dsl.html - $19.99/mo! ---

In 1891 my grandmother Ellen married in her known name Nelly. Did people not have to prove who they were when they got married back then? Carol

Thanks David, I think I'll disregard the Headley entry at the moment. I have found some HARDINGs in Hurstbourne Tarrant and Hurstbourne Priors in 1841, so am looking for a link there. I'll keep digging.

Hello, I have a Harriet HARDING, b ca 1843, whose Hampshire birthplace on various censuses is Hussbourne, Hustborn, Harlsborn. Could this be Hurstborn? I have found a Harriet HARDING in 1861 born in Headley. Does anyone know if this in near Hurstborn? Thanks for any help. Liz Coles in Munich

An entry found in the 1813 Parish register of Great Canford: John Early of Fordingbridge,Hants to Susannah Troke(Froke?). If anyone is interested in more details contact me. Catherine

Listers: If anyone has access to the FreeBMD registrations not as yet on-line I am trying to locate Samuel Bush b.1832/3 to George Bush/Jane Squibb in Fordingbridge. I cannot find him after the 1851 census where he's living with his parents & siblings at Thorps Farm near Alderholt, Dorset. I've searched the on-line parish registers for Fordingbridge and there is no marriage. I've received the death certificate for Samuel Bush Pg.2b Vol.364 2nd Q of 1858 Fordingbridge and he's not the right one - being 78 hrs of age. I do not think he's the one living in Bromley with Louisa & family in 1881 as age is off and LDS has this man's parent as William. Any help or suggestions is most appreciated. Catherine, Canada

Hi I am looking for Maurice Charles Johnson and his family. Maurice was born in Gillingham in 1925 and according to his fathers death certificate he was living in Brooklyn Drive, Waterlooville in 1968. I wonder if anyone knows anything of him or his family? He may have had a brother living in Rainham, Kent all I have of him is S.E. Johnson. His father was Charles Alfred Johnson born in Gillingham in 1900 and his mother Hilda Winfield also born in Gillingham in 1901. I do hope someone has some connection I am desperately trying to get our family back together and it is proving very difficult to find them all!!! Thanks Penny

Yes, the Cowherds still exists. I'll be eating there tonight! It is on the southern edge of Southampton Common. The post code is SO15 7NN.

Hi, I, too, found the site useful as the directories contained a number of references to an elusive ancestor George DYETT, hairdresser, b1812 Southampton. I also found a reference to his father, George in the 1811 directory, so many thanks Lynda for the suggestion. However, I also by chance, discovered some pictures of the Cowherds Public House together with the following description:- "This building was built in 1762 on the site of a much older building. It was the home of the cowherd, who from late medieval times was responsible for livestock kept on the Common. Only the central part of the building dates from Georgian times. Edward Dyett, Cowherd from 1774, supplemented his income by selling beer. This side of the business proved so profitable that in 1789 the building became a pub. Its official name was the Southampton Arms, but locals continued to call it the Cowherds." I'm intrigued to know more about this and would like to hear from anyone who has more details. In particular, does the pub still exist and where exactly is/was it? And is there any connection between Edward DYETT and 'my' DYETTs. Thanks, Robin.
