Thanks for verifying that it got me worried for a minute, but I didn't think I had my own 3x great-grandmothers parents wrong. The IGI should never be trusted. If I remember rightly most of the Hannington register is listed as Kingsclere.

Hello, I have some contradictions on Thomas Woodhouse. John's site says Jane Woodhouse who married William Watts was bap 2 Oct 1808 Hannington, dau of Isaac and Jane nee Cummings. The IGI, however, says she was dau of Thomas and Jane and bap 2 Oct 1807. Which is right? I suspect, John is, although Jane Cummins at age 47 would be a bit old to be having a child James Woodhouse in 1815.

Dear List, Please could anybody with easy access to burial records for All Saints Hannington, please help and check for a William Wix who died on 10 May 1842? I am helping somebody trace their family and together we have been able to trace Emily Woodhouse born 1832 Hannington to Thomas and Rebecca Woodhouse to MI, USA. She left England as a newly wed having married Charles Wix who was the son of William Wix (1782- 1842) who had farmed at Balstone Farm, Ibworth since 1825. Many thanks, Nigel

Hello John, Thank you for your e-mail. Don't worry about the 'Oops'. Your message was quite clear, especially after a look at the RUDDLE genealogy. Sincerely, Ken

Henry's parents were William PRIDDLE and Mary. I have checked the baptism register (on fiche) and I think the IGI has transcribed it wrongly The name looks like RUDDLE to me, and in confirmation of this the Hants Bapt Index does not have a Henry Ruddle listed The Ruddle family is on the Kingsclere Families website here http://startx.co.uk:2317/Kingsclere?m=NG&n=Ruddle&t=N -- John Lewis Debian & the GeneWeb genealogical data server

I also appreciate your reference to the RUDDLE family on the Kingsclere Families website. The information provided for Henry is very comprehensive and the sources provide continuity from baptism, through marriage and death. Henry did not relocate to Kingsbury-Episcopi which is what would need to have happened for him to be my GGG Grandfather. I thank you for your interest and the wonderful detail you have offered. Sincerely, Ken Priddle

Hello Listers, My name is Ken Priddle. I live in Port Coquitlam, BC, Canada. My GGG Grandfather was Henry PRIDDLE who m. Mary QUANTOCK at Kingsbury Episcopi in 1810. I have found several Henry PRIDDLE born in Somerset but none that I am convinced are correct. The IGI shows a Henry PRIDDLE bap 30 Mar 1781 at Kingsclere Hampshire. Henry's parents were William PRIDDLE and Mary. I would be pleased to know if anyone on the list has interest in this family or might know if the Kingsclere parish records are available on line. Thank you Ken

Gerald and list, For ca 1855, I would recommend taking a look at Jackson's Oxford Journal. Despite the title it covered a wide area. It is digitised and can be searched on a commercial information site, but you either have to have an account which is expensive (perhaps a local library could help) or wait until they have a limited period of free access. It seems to come up over Christmas as the favourite time to open it up to all. For Hampshire mid-19th century then either the Hampshire Chronicle, or the HampshireTelegraph and Southsea Chronicle. The later is digitised. I have never looked at the Newbury Journal, it was not digitised on the commercial website. As an alternative to the web or local library, Collingdale (British Museum) Newspaper Reading Room may still be open or replacement arrangements to access the BM's newspaper collection are now in place.

Don't forget that it is now possible to access the British Library's large digitised nineteenth-century newspaper collection online: http://newspapers.bl.uk/blcs There are various subscription options but if they have the right newspapers it might save money on travel costs. Debbie Kennett
