Hi Debbie While searching for history on the house I found this!! http://www.curiousfox.org.uk/uk/mbprof2.lasso?eid=32840&-nothing May be the same family as it is somebody called LEE and worth a shot. It also appears on quite a few gazeteers dated in the 1600s http://www.envf.port.ac.uk/hantsgaz/hantsgaz/s0002858.htm This is an entry on our website Name: Donna Mills Email: [email protected] Name(s) Researching: FOSTER - Godfrey born Park House, Hambledon abt 1839 d.1916 married in 1865 GOODRICH - Elizabeth - Durly Mill d.1908 Hambledon, Hampshire Elizabeth and Godfrey with 8 children came to New Zealand on the 'Canterbury' in 1882. They bought a farm which they renamed 'Park Farm'. We have a book written by an ancestor George Foster dated 1911 - just looking to make contact with anyone who can give us further information Purbrook About a mile to the south of Waterlooville is Purbrook, a residential district stretching outwards on each side of the London road and ending at the top of Ports Down from which there is a magnificent view of Hayling Island, Langstone Harbour, the Solent and the Isle of Wight. Since the 1960s, Purbrook has developed around the Stakes and Crookhorn areas with houses, shops, schools and a golf course. Much of its history is centred around the Deverell family. In 1830 John Deverell moved to the district and, as Lord of the Manor, bought Purbrook Park lands. He built the second Purbrook Park House between 1838-1840 and two schools. Purbrook also gave its name to one of the chain of forts, known as Palmerston's Follies, which string along the top of Ports Down. Built in 1860 at a cost of £92,000, Fort Purbrook was occupied by the Army until 1925. The Navy occupied the Fort in 1947 and it became one of its secret establishments. It now serves as a Youth Activities Centre. The Wayfarers Walk passes near-by and there are some lovely walks linking to Purbrook and Widley and the Portsdown Hill and also out towards Denmead and Hambledon. http://www.havant.gov.uk/havant-2194 Chris and Caroline List Admin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Hayes" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 18, 2005 8:34 AM Subject: {not a subscriber} hambledon >I wonder if any one can help. > > My great grandmother was married to a Thomas Lee b1855, who came from a > farming family in Exminster Devon. > My grandmothers birth certificate gives her address for the birth as Park > Hambledon.Date 1895. > We have a picture of Park House Hambledon at home handed down from this > Great grandmother(Rosetta Rundell). > I know the Foster family that lived there did emigrate to new Zealand > about 1890ish.I can find no record of Thomas Lee after her birth > cetificate, although he is deceased on my grandmothers wedding certificate > in 1925. > > I wonder if anyone knows how I acn find out the history of Park House, or > alternatively if there are any sites for checking farms or tenancies in > Hambledon? > I am at a dead end.

I was ask a simple question the other day, How many Parishes and Chapelries are there to the County of Hampshire. I did not know the answer, nor could I find the number on Famous Google. Oh yes, I could sit in front of the screen and count what different famous sites have listed, but I could not find a how many in total figures. Can someone point me to the right site for this answer?

There is probably not a right answer - Phillimores index of Parish registers lists 348 parishes in Hampshire including IOW - however this is out of date as there are notable omissions such as Sarisbury, Crofton, several Portsea parishes and chapelries, Linda & Tony

MONDAY 2 NOVEMBER 1936 BBC TELEVISION SERVICE Programme for today 3.00pm Opening of the BBC Television Service by Major the Rt Hon GC Tryon Postmaster General, Mr RC Norman (chairman of the BBC) and the Rt Hon Lord Selsdon A truly historic day - the British Broadcasting Corporation inaugurates the world's first regular high-definition public television service. (First broadcasts from Alexandra Palace had taken place on 26 August with an announcement by Elizabeth Cowling and the programme Here's Looking at You; these could be seen by visitors to the Radiolympia exhibition). These early broadcasts were only receivable by those living within range of the Alexandra Palace transmitter, and had a potential audience of around 300 people who owned sets. So only the London edition of Radio Times even mentioned the word television; all other regions had a cover showing children with a Guy Fawkes dummy. Initially there was just two hours of broadcasting a day - from 3-4pm, and 9-10pm. (However for this opening day, although not billed in the Radio Times schedule, the opening hour was actually performed twice - first using the Baird system, and then again from 4.00, using the Marconi-EMI system). o what could the privileged few see on day one of the BBC Television Service? After a succession of speeches, including one from BBC chairman RC Norman who said, "We believe that these proceedings will be remembered as an historic occasion", there was a bulletin of British Movietone News, then variety from musical comedy actress Adele Dixon (right) and American dancers Buck and Bubbles. Though billed to run from 3.30 to 4.00, this programme in fact ran from approx 3.23 to 3.31. Then the BBC Television Orchestra continued in sound only till around 3.50. In the evening there was a short film Television Comes to London, which was repeated a number of times over the following days, then the first edition of Picture Page, which was to run until 1939, and again from 1946-54. The second day of television got under way at 3.00pm with exhibits from the Metropolitan and Essex Canine Society's Show, described by A. Croxton Smith OBE. This was followed by a model of The Golden Hind made by L.A. Stock, bus driver, and more variety in Starlight with comedians Bebe and Ben Lyon. Other early programmes included the first televised opera - Mr Pickwick - on 13 November; while it didn't take long for the first cookery programme to be shown, on 9 December. For the first three months of television the Baird and Marconi EMI systems were used on alternate weeks. Baird's system was used first (decided on the toss of a coin!); but was dropped on 4 February 1937. -------------------------- FRIDAY 7 JUNE 1946 BBC TELEVISION SERVICE 3.00pm Reopening of the BBC Television Service by the Postmaster General, the Earl of Listowel. The programme includes a dance by Margot Fonteyn. Followed by................ June 1946 highlights The BBC Television Service resumed on 7th June 1946, after a near-seven year break. At 3.00pm BBC announcer Jasmine Bligh (right) walked towards the camera on the terrace of Alexandra Park and smiled, "Do you remember me?" Following another opening ceremony, which included a dance by Margot Fonteyn, programmes resumed with the same Mickey Mouse cartoon that was 'so rudely interrupted', in the words of announcer Leslie Mitchell, in September 1939. This was followed by another item postponed for seven years, the concert featuring Mantovani's orchestra. Television's first day back was also marked by two plays, George Bernard Shaw's The Dark Lady of the Sonnets and The Silence of the Sea. (Unfortunately the actual timings of the first few programmes on this day were not available for this feature). The next day marked the first anniversary of VE Day, and the BBC provided television coverage of the Victory Parade held along the Mall. Richard Dimbleby and Frederick Grisewood were on hand to provide commentary on the event. However coverage of the evening celebrations was to be limited to fifteen minutes of the crowd assembling. Then television had to break away for an hour of 'cabaret cartoons' (whatever they are) and a guide on how to choose a hat. When it returned in 1946, television was still a relatively modest affair; the service was still only available to viewers living within at least 40 miles of the Alexandra Palace transmitter, and programmes were only broadcast for around a total of three hours a day. However there was plenty to look forward to - the pre-war magazine Picture Page was revived, and a month after the resumption of television, the first regular children's programme, For the Children, was shown. Favourites such as Muffin the Mule and Richard Hearne also made their debuts this year. But the television service was hit again in February 1947 when a fuel crisis during the harsh winter cut programming hours back to evenings only; the Home, Light and Third radio services suffered a similar fate. The full service was resumed on 28th April 1947; but it would take until the end of the decade for television to finally break out of London --------------------------- SUNDAY 14-SATURDAY 22 JULY 1950 BBC TELEVISION SERVICE SUNDAY 5.00pm For the Children: Muffin the Mule This has now been restarted using computer graphics!!

Harriet Louise DORE (born c1883) married my great grand uncle Jesse GATCUM in Portsmouth in 1907. The couple made their home in Aldershot where they had two children, Daphne (born c1908) and Beatrice (1912). I've found a Harriet Louise DORE in 1891 - she is living in Portsea with parents John & Kate and various siblings. In 1891, she's age 7, so would be a suitable 'fit' for Jesse's wife. Is anyone on the list researching the DORE family? I'd love to know a little more about her. Kind regards Joy --------------------------------- Yahoo!
