Ann, It was the Hampshire Records Office site at http://www.hants.gov.uk/record-office/ You select "Search catalogues" then the "go to Search catalogues" link on that page. I then just searched for my James Wills in the "any text" box. Hope that helps. Graeme At 12/03/2007 01:02 AM, A.

In the north of the parish Broadley Inclosure, Wootton Copse Inclosure, Little Wootton Inclosure and part of Brownhill Inclosure belong to the southernmost fringe of the New Forest. In the village, which is about a mile from the sea, on the Christchurch and Lymington high road, is an old moat possibly marking the site of the mill. (fn. 2) East of the village is the hamlet of Barton, beautifully situated upon Barton Cliff. In the gravel beds topping the cliffs have been found numerous spear-heads and other weapons of the early Stone Age. In 1910 a pot of the late Celtic period was found on Barton Common. (see below) Half a mile northeast of the village is New Milton, a modern extension, with a station upon the London and South Western main line to Bournemouth, and north of New Milton is the hamlet of Bashley, where are the Manor Farm, the residence of Major Brett, and Bashley Lodge. To the south-east is the hamlet of Ashley, including Ashley Clinton, the residence of Lieut.-Col. Henry Renebald Clinton, J.P., while in the north of the parish is the hamlet of Wootton. To the west is Ossemsley Manor, the property and residence of Sir Alfred Cooper, with its fine wooded grounds, and Ossemsley Manor Farm. From: 'Parishes: Milton', A History of the County of Hampshire: Volume 5 (1912), pp. 124-27. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=42059. Date accessed: 11 March 2007. According to Mr. Alexander Paris of Barton House the pond, now partly filled up on the village side, suggests this. Further he considers that the stream from Gore running down the Bunney was formerly much larger than now. --------------------------------------------------------------] Flexford Mill was at Sway just up the road, I have a piece on that I can scan off for you if you want it, it was run by the Kittier/Kitchers at one time ----------------------------------------------------------- There is also a mill mentioned in Bashley on my website http://www.southernlife.org.uk/bashley.htm Chris SOUTHERN LIFE(UK) http://Southernlife.org.uk History of the IOW and Hampshires Villages,Towns and Churches ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Adams" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 11, 2007 12:42 PM Subject: [ENG-HANTS] Re Mills at Bashley In his book "Portrait of the New Forest" Brian Vessey-Fitzgerald makes mention of the Doomsday book.

Hi, I have found 3 items (two Dissenters' meeting house certificates and an assignment of mortgage to secure money) in the Hampshire Records Office online search facility which mention my ancestor James Wills minister of the Basingstoke Independent Church, so I would like to obtain photocopies. However, the only thing I can see on their site is a research service. I don't want research just photocopies of the 3 relevant items. Does anyone know if this is possible ? I know I could email the HRO but thought I would ask here first before bothering them. Thanks, Graeme Simpson Melbourne Australia

Thanks to all who replied - both on and off list - to my request for help. I'm still unsure whether or not to accept the information shown in the census. However, Lynda's observation, that the crossing out looks as if its ghosted through from the previous page, is an interesting one, as is Patricia's about the page numbers having being amended. Curiouser and Curiouser, as Alice said. Thanks again Regards Ed

The details are: Elizabeth Harmsworth, born in Hampshire about 1806 - census reference HO107/385/10, folio 1(?), page 1(?) The image shows Elizabeth as a female servant at Hackwood House, Cliddesden.
