Hi Sara and all Good story, thanks for this. You asked: << In those circumstances, I wonder if the Southampton Bereavement Services would have a record of the moved gravestones? I should imagine they would only have records of actual interments there? >> It is worth pointing out the salient legal situation here! What we have most recently been talking about are the CHURCHYARDS belonging to St Nicholas and Holy Trinity churches in Millbrook. These, and all other churchyards associated with churches, are nothing to do with Southampton Council. All churchyards and their registers are owned and managed by ecclesiastical authorities. They alone are responsible for recording where particular graves and memorials are, and generally speaking they do a very poor job. The local sexton will hopefully know his graveyard, but sextons' records from the past are few and far between. CEMETERIES on the other hand are the property and responsibility of Local Authorities, which are secular bodies. By various Acts of Parliament the local authority managing a cemetery has to keep a plan of the cemetery, showing where all the graves are, and are obliged to reveal this information to any interested party. This is what Southampton Bereavement Services do for all Southampton Cemeteries. They have no information about any churchyards though; for these you have to go to Southampton Archives Dept., or Hampshire Record Office, which is also the Diocese of Winchester Record Office. Southampton Cemeteries are: 1846 Common/Old Cemetery/Hill Lane 1879 St Mary Extra (at Woolston) 1905 South Stoneham 1909 Millbrook 1913 Hollybrook 1932 Southampton Crematorium, originally at South Stoneham, now in Basset Green Road As most local churchyards closed during the late 19th C, most people who died in Southampton would have ended in one of these places.

Hello, Dave and listers, In Rosaleen Wilkinson's excellent book "Millbrook - The Hidden Past" she indicates that in the late 1700s, there was a proposal to re-build St Nicholas Church, as being on the then shoreline and due to the high water-table, it was very damp and prone to flooding, and to allow a re-siting of the church "monuments and graves were to be dismantled carefully" (p17)- many years later, it seems the church was substantially re-built with only the tower of the original church remaining. She doesn't say if the plan with regard to the monuments and graves was carried out, but if not, it may well be that many were lost at that time. It seems that St Nicholas Church was closed in 1889 as the damp had caused further decay, re-opened in 1911 after major repairs, and finally closed in 1920; demolition began in 1939 - "in less than three weeks the graveyard had been cleared and burials within the church exhumed. The bodies were re-buried [the book doesn't make clear where]. Sea sand and mud filled the graves and many bodies crumbled into dust" (p18) - not sure if this means the re-buried ones or the ones left in the churchyard, or both! She also says that Holy Trinity's churchyard had been used since 1879, and that "some of the old gravestones were brought from St Nicholas' and put in the churchyard at Holy Trinity. but there are no actual graves underneath them" (p 21). In those circumstances, I wonder if the Southampton Bereavement Services would have a record of the moved gravestones? I should imagine they would only have records of actual interments there? Incidentally, at least three of my Bessant ancestors would have been buried at St Nicholas, and another one may have been: 3 x great-grandfather John (1823), his wife Fanny (nee Heath) in 1860, possibly their daughter-in-law (and my 2 x great-grandmother) Sarah Ann (nee Humber/Humby) in 1875 (Sarah Ann's burial is recorded in the Freemantle register, so I'm not entirely sure where the actual burial would have been, although husband Stephen was buried at the Hill Lane cemetery) and Sarah Ann and Stephen's son John (brother of my great-grandfather Henry) in 1872. They were ag labs, so may not have had gravestones to start with - I'll have to make do with the parish register entries!

Hi list, Is anyone researching the surname Winbolt/Wimbolt? I have a Phyllis Winbolt who married Edward King in April 1779 South Stoneham. Regards Jan

Hello List, Is anyone researching the name PERRY? The Perry family are living in the same household as my HOSKING family at Westridge Road in 1947. I am trying to work out if there is an connection with these families or if they are just sharing this address? Arthur Perry Ethel M Perry Lilian Perry Also does anyone have an MARJORIE HOSKING in their family line? I have lost her! I know she was still alive in 1959, but can find no record of her death up till the present date. So I am wondering if maybe she had married in her later life after 1959. Many thanks and best wishes Heather Brown (nee Hosking)

Hi Dave & List Today I ventured to several Southampton cemteries...the Old one on the common just has to take the biscuit...it's even wilder than last year...if anyone wants photo's of 'the norm' up there, let me know off list, then you'll realise just how bizarre it is. S.Stoneham has it's own way of numbering...new to me & Hollybrook just has to be my favourite...so simple & beautiful too...was it Michelle who asked about transcribed records?

Hi Dorothy and all Wandering around cemeteries hoping to stumble across the remains of your ancestors is not the recommended way to do your family history, I fear. What you should really do is contact Southampton Bereavement Services, and get the exact cemetery and plot reference from them. Then, armed with a machete, you go into the cemetery and try to find the grave. By the way, I have a feeling that the earlier Millbrook cemetery that was mentioned as now being completely built over, was actually the graveyard of the earlier Millbrook parish church of St Nicholas, also long since demolished. The present parish church, Holy Trinity Millbrook, has its own graveyard, and the council cemetery called Millbrook Cemetery created in 1909 is an extension behind the churchyard.

Heather asked, "...the whole of Welbeck Avenue house numbers are mentioned, but number 7 is missing. Would this mean that the house was longer owned by private residence?

Hello List, With the kind help of Sandra and Derek, I was able to place my Hosking family as living at 7 Welbeck Avenue between 1954 till 1969 Well I have now been lucky enough to have purchased the 1974 Kelly's directory and I am surprised to find that the whole of Welbeck Avenue house numbers are mentioned, but number 7 is missing. Would this mean that the house was longer owned by private residence? If anyone would like any names looked up in this directory, then please let me know. Any help would be truly appreciated.

Yes Gordon, This was the first public cemetery in Southampton, and was created out of a section of Southampton Common in 1843 by Act of Parliament. It is variously called Southampton Old Cemetery, Southampton Common Cemetery, and as you have said, Hill Lane Cemetery. There is an entrance from the road called Hill Lane on the west, although the main entrance is at the southeast corner, from Cemetery Road. By whatever name, the records are held by the Bereavement Services Unit of Southampton City Council, and they hold everything on computer. If you contact them they will give you the burial details, including the plot location. This is not to say it will be possible to find any memorial. The whole area has been declared a Site of Special Scientific Interest, which in effect means it has been left to nature, except for a twice a year rough mow.

When I made the original offer, it included St Mary Extra, Hollybrook & Southampton Old cemetery on the common. Millbrook is just to spooky & full of drunks for me to venture too I'm afraid.

Hi List, I hope I am not driving you all made with all my questions! If someone remarries, would it have to be stated that his was either a widower or divorcee on his new marriage certificate? I know for sure that the person is one and the same, as his father has quite an unusual name. I have Kenneth W J Hosking who married in 1938 in London. But I also have Kenneth as marring Lillian Viney at Southampton Registrar Office in February 1956. I am also looking for any connection for Lillian Mary VINEY - born 1914 Southampton - (father) Joseph who was a School Master - (mother) ? LYATT. Any help would be truly appreciated.

Thank you once again, your help has been truly appreciated. Best wishes Heather

Hello Heather If you e-mail off list, I'd be happy to help with South Stoneham & will take a digital photo for you. I did make this offer on list last year & am happy to visit local cemeteries, but only if the details & plot number are known.
