I hadn't been aware of the second of those. I tend to use the set of CDs produced by the Hampshire Genealogical Society which, as of fairly recently, has complete transcripts of all surviving parish registers in the county (except the Isle of Wight) up to 1837. They're pricey -- a complete set costs £180 -- but as 19 out of 32 of my 3-gt-grandparents were from the county, it seemed worthwhile. > You may also wish to consider that if Alicia were Alicia SCOREY, she may > have married and been widowed a second time by 1851! To lose one husband may be regarded as a misfortune. To lose both looks like carelessness. :-) > The new Forest Union Workhouse records may shed some light on Joseph MUNDAY. Sadly there are very few any surviving records, and seemingly none from the years in question. Though I might mention it to one of the archivists when I'm next there, just in case there are some additional records that I'm not managing to find in the catalogue. I suspect the whole thing will turn out to be a double sibling marriage, with Alicia and Harriet as siblings, and also Thomas and Joseph as siblings. But I can't yet find the evidence for either of those relations. Richard
