    3. Hello Elaine I would think that Southampton Archives would be able to tell you about any information they have on this farm. You can email them at archives@southampton.gov.uk Much depends on the dates your ancestors lived there, so make sure you include that in your query to them. Your mention of Manors seems to suggest medieval times, but someone staying there in WW2 gives a quite different story! Another useful place to contact would be Southampton Central Library local studies section. They have various local Directories, so can look up the name of the farmer of that farm for various years from say 1840-ish. E-mail: <mailto:local.studies@southampton.gov.uk>local.studies@southampton.gov.uk Good hunting!
