Does any one have any information on a small private school which was on the corner of Station Rd. and Bridge Rd., in the Park Gate region in the 1930-50 period, which was run by a Madame Baker, a Brit who married a Frenchman? Thankings you in hopeful anticipation. David

Hello: After researching my father's family for a couple of years now, I've been very fortunate to find many family members (back to the late 1700's in some cases). The most frustrating part is that I can't find out much at all about my paternal grandmother, Hannah Maria Winter (b. 1873 in Vernham's Dean HAM to George and Elizabeth Winter). She is listed as Ann* with her family in the 1881 census and then she disappears! 1881 census for Tidcombe Fosbury, Wiltshire: George Winter, head, M, male, age 35, born Tangley, ag lab Elizabeth, wife, M, female, age 33, born Shalbourne, Berkshire William, son, U, male, age 12, born Hungerford, Berkshire, scholar Ann*, dau, female, age 8, born Vernham, Hampshire, scholar George, son, male, age 6, born Hatherton, Hamphsire, scholar Mary, dau, female, age 3, born Fosbury, Wiltshire Emily, dau, female, age 7 months, born Fosbury, Wiltshire Her parents were in Faccombe by 1901... George Winter, head, age 50, born Tangley HANTS, cattleman on farm Elizabeth, wife, age 53, born Shalbourne WIL Emily, dau, age 20, born Newbury BERKS, housemaid domestic Does anyone have access to the 1891 census for Faccombe. I wonder if Hannah (Ann) might still be with her parents then? Hannah married my grandfather, Thomas Baker, sometime prior to 1910 (when my father was born), but I haven't been able to find their marriage either. I suspected her marriage to Thomas may have been a second marriage, but I can't find a Hannah (or Ann) in the 1901 census with the right age and birthplace. Hannah died when my father was very young (certainly pre-1925 when he came to Canada) and we know almost nothing about her... and I'd love to learn more about her. Any suggestions of what to do next would be most appreciated. Louise (in Canada) _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

Dear All, I have just spent the last three days checking out the archives and current messages on some of the lists that I belong to and quite a few that I don't. I can say without a doubt that this list is the most harmonious and friendly out there!! As for those other lists, I don't think I have ever seen so much backbiting, meglomania, rudeness and anger.......Much of the angst is caused by those select few who seem to be under the impression that these lists were put on the net for their own personal use and that everybody is there to serve them without any thanks or courtesy! It's a real pleasure to open Hampshire-Life in the morning I tell you. Take a bow good people, you deserve it. ( Spontaneous applause can be heard, rising to a crescendo....)

I have today been working on a personally owned database that I have of grave markers in the churchyard of Eling Church. Not the Cemetery, but the old graveyard. I have these two entries if they are of any use. Sarah SILLEY Wife of George SILLEY Born 1749 Buried 10th Sept 1819 aged 73 Plot number 314 George SILLEY Husband of Sarah SILLEY Born 1775 Buried 22nd March 1843 aged 68 Plot 314 There are obviously some questions surrounding Sarah's age at death and whether this was husband and wife, bearing in mind the age differences, but it is nothing new for a widowed woman to marry a man young enough to be her son, and they were buried in the same plot. Or the original transcriber in the 1980's made a mistake. The reference, however, might give the researcher, whoever he or she was, somewhere else to look. ie Eling Parish Records. I also found these two marriages on another Eling database that I have, this one downloaded from Genuki: SILLEY George LOWE Hannah 21 May 1775 SILLEY George DAY Sarah Wyatt 07 Jun 1800 Hope these prove useful.

Hi! Does anyone have resources to look up George Piper born 1833 Stockcross,Berkshire.On 1881 census he was living with his wife Mary & children,at St Marybourne, Hampshire.I am looking for his parents. Also does anyone know of a cottage in Vernhams Dean next door to a Pub,bit of a long shot I know! George & his family lived here at sometime,& him being an alcoholic it must have been very handy for him!!!!! Thanks Amanda.

In our paper this morning that was a little story about a little one, 4 years old with his father driving to McDonalds or somewhere and he looked out the window and said "daddy, look, there is an angel" and his dad looked out and saw where the Challenger had exploded. The child saw it as an angel and maybe there was an angel there to take 7 souls back up the way they had come. Little children see more than we do and they see thru the riff raff of the problems.

Sad and tragic as the deaths of seven American and Israeli Astronauts were, they were no more sad and tragic than the deaths of eight Australian Commuters in a train crash or seven Canadian Teenagers in an avalanche on a school trip in Alberta, and the daily deaths of people in Palestine/Israel,.etc etc etc. Let us pray for all who are affected by such accidents and/or needless violence.

Just to clear up a detail re loss of space orbiter. The recent loss was the Columbia. Challenger blew up on the launch pad Jan 28, 1986....Len, Vancouver

I too, extend my deepest sympathies to family & friends, of the Crewe of the "Columbia". Such a dreadful waste of life, in a peaceful cause.

My wife covered the Challenger explosion 17 years ago, and unfortunately has been called again into service for the television networks. With her I was fortunate enough to meet several of the astronauts - I consider them to be the American heroes of current day. They are wonderful people, and courageous. I had stepped out my door to watch here in the Dallas area, as the shuttle passed over. As I watched, the breakup of the craft began...it was horrifying. All I can think is, God Bless each of the astronauts for their bravery.
