Thanks Hilary, these little snippets come in very handy sometimes not only to the original person requesting the info but to others who may also have links in the areas. And I learn something different on this list every day, which isn't a bad thing!

Sorry Chris and Listers I had meant to press reply all but just pressed reply by mistake. Here is my reply which may be of use to others. Hilary -----Original Message----- From: hilary gadsby [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 30 August 2005 16:55 To: 'Derek&Maureen' Subject: RE: DUKE Street, Southampton Have you looked as the map site http://map.southampton.gov.uk/gis/default.asp This has map for 1870 many places were cleared about 1900. I the special collections library in Southampton they have a book which was a report into dilapidated housing in the central part of Southampton. Part of my family lived in Fives Court which was not a healthy place to live happily they do not seem to have been living there for long as they seem to move each time the census was taken. Hope this helps Hilary -----Original Message----- From: Derek&Maureen [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 30 August 2005 10:57 To: [email protected] Subject: DUKE Street, Southampton Hello good listers all Can anyone please tell me which suburb of Southampton the dockland area would have been in during the 1880s ? My grandma was born in Duke Street which I think is fairly close to Terminus Terrace. Would this area be considered part of St Mary's or Chapel or was it too far away? Everything I've looked at so far, only indicates Southampton. Thanks for your help Kind regards Maureen ______________________________

Message From: "Chris and Caroline" Subject: Re: [HantsLife] Thanks re Duke St When replying to requests which may help others please include your replies to the list so others may benefit. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Very good point Chris To share the help I was given....... One answer provided me with a URL which took me to a Southampton 1870 map which pretty much indicated that the Duke Street/Terminus Terrace area of Southampton was part of Chapel/ St Mary's. The other answer told me outright that the area was indeed St Mary's. Maureen, NZ

Many thanks to Hilary & Roy for their help re Duke Street, Southampton. Greatly appreciated. Kind regards Maureen, NZ

Sending this on for the person who enquired about Hampshire police. Chris From Dave Jacobs (ENG-SOUTHAMPTON) Apart from the Hampshire constabulary, both Portsmouth and Southampton Record Offices have records of their City police forces. The Portsmouth records I know include some photographs of their policemen. Cheers, Dave Jacobs

Hello good listers all Can anyone please tell me which suburb of Southampton the dockland area would have been in during the 1880s ?

Hello Everybody, They are on fiche and can be copied. I have several in my documents collection. The later ones are closed, from memory I think the closure date is about 1924.

Hi everyone My grandies' marriage certificate states they were residing at Ashley Terrace in Winchester at that time. I have referred to maps & browsed theinternet but cannot find an Ashley Terrace in Winchester. Any ideas, please? They were married in Hyde Close & my great grandparents had resided in nearby Andover Road, if that's any sort of clue. Would love to hear your thoughts on this please. Kind regards Maureen

Hi, Could anyone tell me if there is available electoral rolls for the 1930'1940's for the Hampshire area that can be viewed. Thanks Hilda

Thought this might be useful. Chris The Naval & Military Press are proud to announce the launch of a brand new website for military historians and family genealogists. There can hardly have been a family in Britain which was not touched in some way by the tragedy of the First World War, the "Great War for Civilisation". Great Britain, alone among the major European nations, went to war in 1914 with an army based on voluntary enlistment, numbering just over 247,000 at the outset with 486,000 Reserves and Territorials. By November 1918 almost a further 5,000,000 had enlisted, over half of them volunteers. For the first time since Napoleon, Britain had become a nation in arms and, in January 1916, for the first time in the country's history, conscription was introduced. The war developed into one of attrition as the allies strove to break through the formidable enemy defences and, by the end, casualties on both sides were on a scale hitherto unparalleled. In 1921, eighty one volumes were published embracing every regiment and corps of the British Army listing almost 662,000 Soldiers and 41,000 Officers who died in the war, and it is this immense undertaking which is available within this website on a pay-per-view basis. Soldiers Died in the Great War 1914 to 1919, is available now and is our first searchable database to go online. We invite you to have a look at this exciting new website https://www.military-genealogy.com/

Somebody asked about records of people who were in the Hampshire Contabulary. Here is the reply from the aforementioned!! In other words they are kept by the Hampshire Record Office!! Chris Chris, I am not aware of any such records being held by the Constabulary. However, there is a Hampshire Constabulary History Society (www.hants.gov.uk/hchs) who may be able to help> Their website gives the details of the Hampshire Record Office for Family History Research (mailto:[email protected]). Kind regards Website Management Team Hampshire Constabulary

Thanks Rod The strange thing was I was not on the "sofa" but in front of the console the DJs use, it was like the flight deck of Concorde, never seen so many buttons and switches nor cassette players!! And I was in Southampton and the Presenter was in Tunbridge Wells Kent, two counties away!! But the downfall was I told Caroline to listen in and set the radio for her on Radio Solent and then found out afterwards that Solent and Radio Oxford were broadcasting.........of all things.................football so she never heard it! And I never got a recording of it!! Which is a great shame. I had no idea what he was going to ask me and had to fumble a bit, wanted to say hello to all the listers but never had the time!! Still it was a great experience!

Hello Everybody, I was fortunate enough to be able to listen to Chris "on the sofa" being interviewed tonight and for those that did not hear it you missed an interesting fifteen minutes. It was nice to hear some of those who post to this list being mentioned such as Moya, who appears not to have posted much recently, I do hope she is O.K. Anyway Chris, well done, I am sure your broadcast was well received by all listeners and I bet you will get more e-mails than ever! Rod.
