Looking for any info or anyone with connections to the family of Robert and Eleanor James. They were travellers in the Hampshire Sussex area.

John born 1788 Froyle Heather

Hi Heather - in 1841 there is a Sarah JAMES in South St, Gosport, Alverstoke aged 45 with husband Adam, a cutler. There are a number of other people in the household so may be a similar situation to the 1851 where Sarah is a lodging house keeper (also in South St). Hope this gives something to think about - happy to forward the image if you would like it. Do you have Alinda in 1841?

Baptism at Odiham - 29Sep1805 Elijah - Robt & Eleanor James Baptism at Froyle - 14Sep1788 John - Robt & Eleanor James - Vagrants Other known children - Henry and Adam. Entries refer to the couple as vagrants or travellers. They were part of the large James family of Gypsies who travelled Hampshire and adjoining counties. The baptism at Froyle took place in September when there was an influx of Gypsies for hop picking. My Gypsy ancestor Samuel Ayres was baptized there on 7Sep1788. See the website of the Romany & Traveller Family History Society www.rtfhs.org.uk Several members of the Society are researching the James family.

If it was a child, then it would say "Son/daughter of <father's name> and you might get the mother's name (usually undesignated) in the informant column if she was the informant. A woman may have "widow of <name of husband>" in the occupation column. No names of children, living or dead are given, nor the names of any siblings. It will usually give the date, place of death, name of deceased, age at death, occupation, cause of death. The information was only as good as the informant's knowledge, so the age in particular can be way off.

Thank you to all who replied on my James family. I now have info to continue the search.

Hello Alan Wow, Thank you for that info. I have been looking for years. I think this is The correct one too as somewhere I had Eleanor as mother but didn't know Where I got that info. We have been trying to connect Elijah with Henry who Was transported to Australia after the Headly Riots 1830. The information I Have on Henry is he was born Kingsclear 1790. Thank you again for the nice Christmas gift of information. Will check the Web site out. I did look there a couple of years ago but couldn't find anything. Merry Christmas and all the best in 2009. >From a cold snowy Southern Ontario Canada Heather -------Original Message------- From: Alan McGowan Date: 12/17/08 19:37:46 To: eng-hampshire@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ENG-HANTS] James Baptism at Odiham - 29Sep1805 Elijah - Robt & Eleanor James Baptism at Froyle - 14Sep1788 John - Robt & Eleanor James - Vagrants Other known children - Henry and Adam.

Dear Heather, it should really have been "Sheet, Hants." as Sheet is a village on the London Road from Petersfield (which it is close by) to Liphook, i.e., at the eastern edge of Hants., near the border with West Sussex. The mill near the bridge on the River Rother worked from 900 AD to the last century. Regards, David

Thank you. Guess that's not going to help me find parents.

Could someone please tell me what information is on Death Certificate for death in 1851 Gosport. Would it have parents names etc. Heather

Could anyone tell me who was living 22 South Street Gosport in 1841. My James family lived there for many years. I think it is Bulls Head Inn. Heather

Hi I am writing to the list to see if anyone can suggest the way forward with the following query: My gggg grandfather who was born and died in Hampshire served as a corporal with the 7th Hussars (Queens Own Regiment)in Spain during the Peninsular War. He was captured and imprisoned in France in 1809 for 5 years. I have his discharge certificate but was wondering if the French Government would have records about his captivity and release in the French Archives? I did try and search the Archives but of course they are in French which makes it difficult if one does not speak or read French. Would the British Government have records of British soldiers imprisoned by the French? Is it worthwhile searching newspapers to see if his name is mentioned? Any suggestions of how I can find out more would be very grateful! Claire Canberra, Australia
