Hi Barbara, Yes, I have been in contact with Peter and he sent me a copy of his book. I can't remember now how we first got in contact but I imagine one of us must have seen the other one's name in the HGS magazine. Our Sims family does have a connection with Wiltshire.....just! Thomas Sims' grandparents William SIMS/SEEMS and Frances GLASS were married in Easton Royal in 1776. Frances was a local girl and I have managed to trace her family in the Vale of Pewsey back to the first parish registers. However I have never managed to establish where William came from. Some while ago I found a marriage of Henry SEEMS and Ann TREHERN at East Woodhay, 1753. I have never discovered where Henry and Ann went after that. They had no children bapt in the area and they were not buried there. One possibility is the nearby parish of Linkenholt, for which the registers survive only for marriages in the Phillimore transcript, which shows the presence of Simses at that time. I am very tempted by Henry and Ann as parents for William because of: use of SEEMS as a variant of Sims William and Frances called their eldest son Henry and their eldest daughter Ann the fact that, after his marriage to Frances, William settled in Faccombe, which is very close to both East Woodhay and Linkenholt. More speculation! Dorothy

Hi Dorothy and All, It was Peter SIMS who wrote the article "East Woodhay Emigrants" in the HGS magazine. Have you got Peter S. SIMS book. The article continues to says that Thomas and Harriett had at least two children Henry and George in East Woodhay before moving to Greenham, Berkshire where Charles is grandfather was born 10 October 1846. The Census shows them living in "Warfield" East Hampstead Berkshire, with their children: Henry, George, Charles, Mark, Maria Rose and Thomas. They emigrated with their four youngest children. Thomas father James it is assumed is also shown on the same page of the 1851 Census having remarried in 1827 to Roseanna ??? with four children Charlotte, Peggy, Sarah and Jane. James first wife Maria nee ROSE die in May 1826 any further information unknown. If you want to contact Peter S. Sims he gives his address in Australia, email and telephone number and says please contact me. As Peter is still alive, please contact me off list for address, email and telephone number. I have great grandparents SIMS going back to 1685 in Wiltshire, if any Sims link with Wiltshire i would be very interested. Kind regards Barbara Lewis Mallyon Basingstoke, Hants.

Hello Folks, Thought this message from the Hampshire Genealogical Society may interest some of you. COMING TO HAMPSHIRE Visit an exhibition in Southampton this autumn and add your footsteps to those of students and tourists, naturalists and painters, exiles and refugees, who came to Hampshire in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Well known as a beautiful maritime county of 'great natural advantages', Hampshire has been visited, explored, and adopted by a vast range of people. They came to learn at a new university; to take the waters, or a picturesque tour; to admire the natural and physical beauties of the county - its flowers, animals, geology, meteorology. Where did they visit? How did they travel? Who were they? Not all visitors came by choice. The ports of Hampshire have welcomed many exiles and refugees over time that fled their homelands due to political and religious difficulties. This exhibition takes a look at those who arrived, and the Hampshire they found, using examples from the archives and special collections at the University of Southampton. 'Coming to Hampshire' runs from 15 October to 7 December 2007 The Special Collections Gallery, level 4, Hartley Library, University of Southampton, Highfield, Southampton, SO17 1BJ Entrance is free to all Opening hours are 10.00 until 16.00, Monday to Friday For more information please contact the Archives and Special Collections Tel: 023 8059 2721 Email: [email protected] Web: www.archives.lib.soton.ac.uk

She married Joseph Baggs in 1837. There was an earlier Samuel Pocock (1752-1826) in Kingsclere who had a least one daughter Hannah born ca 1773. Hannah married first John Miles in 1796 and later Benjamin Hedgecock in 1828. A John Pocock was the tenant of the Swan Inn, Kingsclere in 1770 and a John Pocock married Rebecca Wythe at Deane on 8 April 1779. The Samuel you have and this one just might be linked.

I do have a Samuel Pocock ca1812 East Woodhay with a wife Jane ca1817 Great Bedwin, Wilts with Sarah ca 1839 William ca 1840 Francis ca 1841 Mary ca 1844 Samuel ca 1847 Jane ca 1850 Oliver ca 1859 Samuel was a carpenter and I do wonder if the 1861Census has misread his age as 30 and he was really 50 as in 1851 all the above children are in household in 1851 with exception of Oliver. ++ Given the paucity of Samuels b 1831, I too was wondering if the age was wrong, but I had suspected that he was a child. Your idea is much better for lots of reasons: a) Samuel is the first of the group of 4 Pocock boarders, b) both he and Mary are listed as married, c) although it really does look like "30" on the census, the 3 could be a 5, or it could have been incorrectly transcribed. Oliver was born in Kingsclere Union House and baptised at St. Mary, son of Samuel & Jane, The baptism entry states "Father resident at East Woodhay. Infant in Kingsclere Union House" So this probably links Oliver to the Oliver you found in the 1861 Census. FreeBMD has the following entries: Births Sep 1844: POCOCK Mary Jane, Kingsclere 7 105 Births Jun 1847: Pocock Samuel, Kingsclere 7 99 Births Dec 1849: POCOCK Jane Amelia, Kingsclere 7 109 Births Jun 1852: Pocock Susan Mariam, Kingsclere 2c 170 Births Sep 1856: Pocock Alice, Kingsclere 2c 182 Births Dec 1859: POCOCK Oliver, Kingsclere 2c 193 Deaths Sep 1855: Pocock Jane, Kingsclere 2c 117 This Jane cannot be the mother of Oliver. ++ This all looks very promising - but Jane would have to die and Samuel to marry Mary to fit my 1861 census.. Samuel 59, Jane 54 & Oliver 11 are in East Woodhay in 1871, Samuel recorded as a carpenter. + ...but here is Jane still alive and married to Samuel in 1871! + So - who is Mary in 1861? She is married, but to whom, and when? I think the Alice I found a FreeBMD entry for is the Alice age 24 living in Bishopsgate in 1881 with a Harriet Poccock age 62 widow, both lodgers and both born Kingsclere. Harriet was a widow in 1861, living in Bishopsgate with daus Alice 4 & Elizabeth 7, all born in Woodlands. Alice baptised 6 Jul 1856 at St. Paul to Samuel & Harriet, Samuel a labourer so that is probably the Alice I found the FreeBMD entry for A Samuel Pocock born Ecchinswell ca 1817 married Harriet Hughes at St. Paul, Woodlands on 4 Nov 1848. 1841 a Samuel age 20 is in Newbury Street, Kingsclere with Harriet Hughes in household. Going back to the Alice living in Andover in 1861 there is an Alice Pocock age 14 servant born Hampshire, living in Kingsland Road, Hackney in 1871 but no sign of her in 1881 with surname Pocock. ++ Yes, given the paucity of Alice Pococks in general, I think this is my Alice, aged 17, servant to Gordon and Eliza Hall, six years before she marries Thomas Mundy and takes his surname. There is however an Alice Carter age 27 born EW with husband William age 36 boot and shoemaker also born EW living in EW in 1881 with Edward 5, Emily F 2 & William 1. Interestingly there is a John Tull, lodger, 76 born Great Bedwyn. could he be a relative of Jane Pocock who was also born there. Does the surname Carter ring any bells, Nick ?? ++ None at all. ++ My most heartfelt gratitude to you John for your help. I need to think further on this, look for marriages between Samuels and Marys, and look for births of Alices.

I saw this on another list and seems a good idea This is a plea to everyone who has received a BMD certificate for England and Wales. Please 1. Go to FreeBMD and find the index to your certificate. 2. Click 'Info' and send a Postem. There is enough space given on the Postem form to enter all the relevant details from the certificate - places, parent names, spouse names etc. If most users did this, it would contribute towards making the acquisition of a certificate less of an expensive lottery than the indexing system makes it now. Imagine looking up the FreeBMD index and being able to eliminate certificates that the Postem shows are not yours! You can also include a contact email address. Regards Peter G

Hello - I understand this is where the POCOCK experts reside. I am looking for info and ancestors re Alice POCOCK, born abt. 1853 in East Woodhay. She appears in the 1861 census as a boarder in Andover alongside Mary POCOCK (b abt 1816, East Woodhay), Samuel POCOCK (b abt 1831, East Woodhay, a carpenter), Susan POCOCK (b abt 1851, East Woodhay), and Oliver POCOCK (b abt 1859, East Woodhay). I think Alice is my great-Grandmother through her marriage to Thomas MUNDY / MUNDAY in 1878. My problem is that I cannot untangle the Pococks of the 1851 and 1841 censuses and trace any of the above, nor have I had success re marriages or births in the freeBMD, nor is Alice in John Lewis' database. Any help or advice would be most welcome; has anyone walked this path before, or should I drive somewhere (Winchester?) and search parish records?
