My mother's maternal line comes from Hampshire - South Stoneham,West End, Southampton Areas. The name is HASLAR/HASLER. I have often wondered if there is a connection with Haslar Hospital - Probably not but would be interesting to know!

Haslar Hospital was built on the site of Haslar Farm which the admiralty acquired in 1767. It stood by Haslar Creek, the lower part of which is called Haslar Lake. I imagine that the farm was named after the location rather than its owner, but..... As a matter of interest, Porchester Castle was seriously considered as a possible site of the Naval Hospital, but the owners would not sell. One of the attractions of the Castle was that it would be difficult for the patients to "escape" from it.
