Hi anyone out there looking at the HILLIER or BENNETT families in either Grately or Thruxton? I have John HILLIER marrying Frances MUNDAY 1768 in Thruxton and their son James  born 1768 marrying Pheobe BUCKLAND 1787 both events being in Thruxton . Their son George born 1793 in Thruxton marries Sarah BENNETT 1810 in Grately. This family emigrates to South Australia. I have not as yet been able to find any more about Sarah other than she was born c1792. cheers Josie Queensland

Thanks Rose. Yes, I knew that Ann had married Thomas Barnes (in 1857) after Christopher's death (1840), but am interested in her parentage. Also, there is something odd going on with her children - her children Jem (= James), Edward and Mary Ann, who were born AFTER Christopher died in 1844, are listed as being stepsons/daughter in Thomas and Ann's household in the 1861 census. I can only assume she had these 3 children out of wedlock, or there is a marriage that is unrecorded (although he was a THOMAS when she married Thomas). Alan

Hi Alan, Do you have access to Ancestry ? There is a family tree listed there with Ann Saunders. No parents listed but it shows she also had children with Thomas Barnes, Christopher is listed as died 17 Feb 1840. The tree follows the line of Charles Thomas 1838 - 1912. Cheers Rose.

Looking for the parentage of Ann SAUNDERS (b c 1816, possibly Ibsley or Fordingbridge). Ann married Christopher THOMAS in 1834 in Ibsley and they had a number of children. Any clues? Alan in Brisbane

Hi Linda, Tony & Peter Thank you very much for your advice. It is then just a case of looking at the church records as well as following up with the censues to see if you are on the right path.

Carlene, As somebody said, the simple answer is that you can't be sure that you have the right person in a marriage. That is unless you can find a clue in the PR's like age, birthplace, parents or witnesses. When you look at you Higgs family there aren't a lot of choices. So you have to decide if it's likely to be them or if the records have been destroyed or not captured by IGI For Sarah ch 1789, the possibilities are 1803 or 1829. If 1789 is her correct birth year, then she's either 14 or 40 for the marriage dates. To me both seem improbable. For William ch 1791, there is only one possibility in 1818 at Crondall. That would make him 27. I'd check the proximity of Crondall to Aldershot and also see what it says for his birthplace if he was still alive in 1851. For John ch 1794, there is only one marriage in 1811. That makes him only 17. Again I'd look at birthplace if he was still alive in 1851. There are no suggested marriages in Hampshire for James 1796 or George 1797. That suggests four possible alternatives. They died, they didn't marry, they married elsewhere or the records haven't been transcribed. Once more, another to try and find in 1851. I'd also be doing a check of how many William Higgs etc were born in Hampshire around 1791. But don't forget, the available records are probably incomplete. Peter

Aldershot was reasonably covered by the IGI. Alan McGowans "National Index of Parish Registers" for Hampshire & IOW confirms the established church at that time (St Michael the Archangel) has christenings 1572-1879 & Marriages 1594-1876. The other point is the danger of *assuming*, like many do, that the christening occurred in the same year as the birth and/or in the birth parish. Many baptisms took place when the child was older or even in adulthood - so we may find, for instance, that Sarah (1789)was older than 14 when she married (but even so was even at 14, able to marry anyway) and the same goes for John (1794) where what is being said is that he was *at least* 17 in 1811. Of course, the family may have been non conformist..........

Hi List I have a brick wall which I am tiring to breakdown. William HIGGS married Lettice GREENWOOD in 1789 at Aldershot. The following children were baptismed at Aldershot John 1794, James 1796, George 1797. Another child Sar baptismed 1789 at Ash and William 1791, Farnham. My question is how do I know from parish records that I have the right information in regard to who the children married. I am assuming that the children would have started getting married from the 1820's. Carlene Gapper No virus found in this outgoing message.

The simple answer is that you never *know* By obtaining marriage parish records for the children, there may be clues within the witnesses. From early census records, again there may be clues. Sometimes it is a question of checking baptism, marriage and burial records to see if the full information (as opposed to an index) gives any extra information Linda & Tony -----Original Message----- From: hampshire-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:hampshire-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Carlene Gapper Sent: 10 April 2010 00:33 To: Hampshire Subject: [HAM] William HIGGS & Lettice GREENWOOD Hi List I have a brick wall which I am tiring to breakdown.

Hi Listers, In the FreeBMD, the birth of Sarah Ann Head is displayed for Andover, June 1872, vol. 2c, page 225. Would it be possible for sks who has access to the Andover Parish Baptism Register to see if Sarah Ann's parents were John and Jane Head please. There is a 9 year old Annie Head listed in the 1881 census for Little London, in the Andover area, parents John and Jane, and I would like to know if this is the Sarah Ann in the FreeBMD.

Hi Ron Not as simple a task as might appear - a baptism might occur from any time from birth to adulthood and in a separate parish from birth especially given the 9 years between birth and the 1881 census. There are a huge number of parishes within the Andover Registration District ( as opposed to the Andover Parish) as follows: Abbotts Ann Amport Andover Appleshaw Barton Stacey Bullington Chilbolton Faccombe Foxcott Fyfield Goodworth Clatford Grateley Hurstbourne Tarrant Kimpton Knights Enham Linkenholt Longparish Ludgershall Monxton North Tidworth Penton Grafton Penton Mewsey Quarley Shipton Bellinger Smannell South Tidworth Tangley Thruxton Upper Clatford Vernhams Dean Wherwell Hope this helps Linda & Tony

Jane, To find the oroximity of "The Nook, Enham, Andover" to "Old Winton Road, Andover". I went to Google maps and put "Enham, Andover" as the search then asked it to give directions to "Old Winton Road, Andover" this results in a journey of about 3 miles (10 minutes by car). The above assumes the "The Nook" is near the centre of Enham and that Florence Villas are near the middle of "Old Winton Road", since Google along with all the other route finding software assumes the centre unless you can provide a full postcode. Hope this helps Kevin

Hi All I have a postcard dated 1907 with a picture of a soldier from the Manchester Regt., I was hoping to identify the soldier, but I've since found out it's a standard issue card, so I'm trying to trace the person it was sent to which was: Miss E BEAVES The Nook Enham Nr Andover Hants I can't seem to find the above address but I have found an Edith Beaves in 1911, which may be her, living at 2 Florence Villas, Old Winton Rd, Andover, with parents Charles (b1864) and Rebecca (b1866), and brother William (b1888). I don't know Hampshire at all, so I don't know if these addresses are close to each other. Is anyone researching the above name? Jane :o)
