Paul, I don't know if he'd be any connection, but I have a James Barfoot LANHAM, born South Stoneham 1847, son of William Lanham and Mary. I have always wondered if she was Mary Barfoot. Have you come across him anywhere? He was a butcher, married Ruth Hannah GILLY in 1871 and died in 1900. Dorothy Morrissey Whakatane, NZ Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo! Movies. http://au.movies.yahoo.com

I am a new subscriber and interested in my Barfoot ancestors - primarily from Millbrook and Redbridge. Hannah Groves of Redbridge married William Barfoot on 26 April, 1840 at All Saints Southampton. Their children were: Jane Barnes Barfoot b. 1842 (m. Richard Baker), William Hamilton Barfoot b. 1844, and James William Barfoot b. 1850 (m. Emma Cheshire). Following William Barfoot's death in 1859, his widow Hannah m. William Pring. If any of this sounds familiar, I would love to talk to you. William and Hannah were my great great grandparents.

Thanks, anyway, Chris and Caroline - the bell has been there over 10 years now, and I know the house has changed hands over the years, so probably no point writing - I was just hoping it would be more than just a marker!

Hi Sara Have just had a reply from the Southampton Archives about your mystery bell!! See below! Chris and Caroline Subject: Shirley Bell Hello We had no clue about this but a local historian who knows Shirley well happened to call in this week and was equally stumped. However he went off intrigued to find it and has written us a note - he came to the conclusion that it was a recent addition possibly placed as a marker to separate a recently tarmaced area from the 'sideway'. He thought that the only way to find out if the bell had any significance was to write to the owner or occupier of the house. Sorry to disappoint you!

Not sure if this is the same GURD but a Len GURD lived in a cottage between Calshot and Fawley during the 1970s, sadly he died but not sure if there was any other family. Len used to work at Southampton Central in the parcels section and used to supervise the loading of our trucks when British Rail did parcel delivery, this was taken over by National Carriers which are now Lynx!!

Nostalgia: 'British Transport Films' (BTF) 1949 - 1982 For those wanting a flashback to times gone by (much easier than on times to come!) the following link may be of interest? http://www.britishtransportfilms.co.uk/ From their webpage... Welcome to the website dedicated to the well loved 'British Transport Films' (BTF) production unit. Here you will be able to look at details of many of the film unit's productions, read film reviews and view several images from the extensive BTF stills collection. Many of BTF's classic works such as 'Elizabethan Express', 'Train Time', 'Snowdrift at Bleath Gill' and 'Blue Pullman' are well known amongst railway enthusiasts, but virtually no information is available as to the contents of a great number of their other films that were produced over five decades. Indeed, without access to John Reed's 'Moving Images', even a list of productions is impossible to find. British Transport Films was formed in May 1949 with Edgar Anstey as its first Producer in Charge. Anstey was a protégé of John Grierson the principle documentary film maker in the 1930s and the founder of the British Documentary Movement.The nationalisation of Britain's four major privately owned railway companies, along with other transport undertakings including road motor transport and canals, took place in 1948. Two of the major railway companies maintained film units which were amalgamated into the new BTF, and carried on the work of the previously privately run units. Their purpose was the making of travelogue films that promoted destinations in town, country and seaside resorts throughout the British Isles, and promoted rail or associated transport as the best means for people to travel to the destinations represented on screen. Another successful vein was the production of films that represented the nationalised transport workforce and the part they had to play in rebuilding the country. Of more direct concern to staff were the films made to explain complicated operational aspects of the transport undertakings and, were used in training schools. The unit's production arm functioned from 1949 until 1982. The most memorable period of the unit was from 1949 until the mid 1960s. The argument could be made that the unit's fortunes mirror that of the decline in short cinema documentary films and the cinema newsreel. Another avenue of exhibition that still existed in the late 70s was the private showing of films to local societies. This service provided a projectionist who brought with him from London, not only the programme of films, but all the resources required for the screening. This service illustrates the publicity value of the BTF archive that was still exploitable. Whilst BTF did a great service to the film industry in providing a comprehensive training facility for aspiring filmmaking talent, the unit had a commercial remit to fulfil from the British Transport Commission and later the British Railways Board. The main purpose of the unit was to provide films that would stimulate travel by the commission's diverse services, and also to inform the public of the effort that went into providing these services. Between 1955 and the penultimate year before the full units dispersal in 1982, BTF had won 185 awards including the Hollywood 'Oscar' for `Wild Wings' directed by John Taylor in 1966, for Best Live Action Short Subject. In the general output of BTF the view is taken of Britain slowly coming out of the ravages of war into the 1950's this is an important legacy that Anstey and BTF has left for future generations. Furthermore BTF went onto to reflect the `swinging sixties' and then change again to reflect the mood of the seventies. Although BTF was a sponsored unit, Anstey and his team of resident and freelance filmmakers have managed not only to capture the transport of the time but moreover the period it operated in. As BTF was indirectly publicly funded through subsidies to the B.T.C. and B.R.B. from 1954, the unit has provided another service to the public in recording three diverse and interesting decades of British way of life and transport. (text courtesy Paul Smith, Paddington Films) Visitors are invited to explore this website and discover the fantastic legacy of BTF which even now is still not as widely recognised as its grand efforts deserve, even though it was responsible for capturing the general transport scene at a time of great transition - a priceless legacy of moving and still images that deserves more exposure than it gets today. Afficianados of BTF films are invited to join a free and informal email forum that has been set up as a popular means of enabling people to enjoy a free exchange of information, resources, reminisces, reviews and general chat about British Transport Films. http://www.britishtransportfilms.co.uk/ Forum for discussion...

Hi Judith All Saints was a rather large parish in the town of Southampton, north of the central walled part. It had its own parish church of the same name, which was destroyed by bombing in WW2. The registers are held by Southampton Archives, with filmed copies at the Hampshire Record Office.

Hi List, have found a marriage in Tarrant Gunville Dorset betwen Penninah Collins and Samuel Moore, he of All Saints, Southampton. in 1836. Does anyone know where All Saints is? Is it a church or place and is it in the city or county of Southampton!

Hello Jane, greetings from Canada, -- this is a coincidence, as when I lived at Midanbury, Southampton, many years ago, I had a friend Elizabeth Tipton, who lived at Onibury Road!. Elizabeth had a brother Roger Tipton. I forget what their parents' christian names were, if I ever knew. We went to the same school and were in many of the same classes. Elizabeth knew me as Julie Daniells in those days. When I went back to England on holiday in 1959, I visited Elizabeth at Onibury road, and we wrote back and forth a few times afterwards, but lost touch after we were both married. I've often wished I could contact Elizabeth again and wondered how she is. best wishes Alandra in British Columbia, Canada ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jane Surman" <jane@tibby70.freeserve.co.uk> To: <ENG-SOUTHAMPTON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 10:30 AM Subject: [ENG-SOU] Tipton > Looking for any relations of the tipton family from onibury road area in bitterne or anyone else who lived in the close in the 30's > > jane > > > > > ============================== > Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration > Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.

Hi Judy, I had the same problem with my g grandmother,but then changed her first names around and bingo there she was. worth a try. Linda

Hi Judy, The problem with all transcriptions I fear. But Halleluyah!!! They transcribed my grandfather MABEY correctly and I found him first time. I had used every trick in the book on the PRO site to find him without success. So it is swings and roundabouts I suppose. Sandra

I found family members on the 1901 census, but what is frustrating is that my g grandfather doesn't appear on the transcription, even though I know he should. I will have to go through the images to find him.

Thank you Sandra for letting us know about this. I didn't expect to find much more than I already knew, but this has filled in a few gaps for me and I have a few more family names. Like Judy I found some errors in the transcription, but you can click on to the original census image to check.

Hi Listers, I have just discovered that ancestry.com have put up an index and original images to quite a few English counties for 1901 census. You wont find it yet through the normal route of going to their UK Census pages. I found it accidentally when searching for a particular surname and all these 1901 census references popped up. HAMPSHIRE is one of the counties included. So if you are a subscriber to ancestry.com....get searching! Sandra

Thank you so much for posting this Sandra. I took a quick look, and on the first page I looked at, I found two of my DELL families. I do wonder about the quality of the transcription though, when my gg grandfather's brother is described as being born in Coolbrooth, Devon, instead of Colbrook! And did he really have a 25 year old wife at the ripe old age of 75???
