I am desperately seeking any descendents of my grandfather, William Hyde HART who left England in approx. 1886, for New Zealand. His parents were father, Charles HART (d.1869) and mother, Sarah Anne HYDE (d.1878). They are both buried at Upton Grey, Hants. Charles was born at Orpenham, Kintbury, Berk. Sarah was born at Aylesbury, Bucks. According to the1871 Census the family states "Farmhouse" as the place of residence in Upton Grey. At this stage my g-grandfather had died (1869) and my g-grandmother was listed as "Head", farmer of 530 acres. She also had a '*' by her name which, according to the legend at the bottom of the page, meant she was deaf and dumb. She died in 1878. In the 1881 Census the place of residence is listed as "The Manor Farm". Upton Grey. The eldest son was now 'Farmer of 580 acres employing 13 men and 5 boys'. It has been suggested that he was a 'tenant farmer' - what does this mean? I have visited The Manor House at Upton Grey and ascertained that the land belonging to the House was just under 600 acres. So it seems likely that "The Manor Farm" was, in fact, "The Manor House? In both Census' a domestic servant was shown, and also a farm bailiff (g-grandfather's brother). Would a tenant farmer be likely to have this? Both my g-parents (Charles & Sarah) and their eldest son (Charles Henry)are buried in the church yard (through the garden gate) and closest to the Manor House. Does anyone know of any protocol about where people are buried in a churchyard - closest to the church, etc? Charles Henry died at Reading on January 28, 1907 aged 53. Other known siblings are Mary, Anna M., Joseph Elliott (a wine merchant) and Kate Emily (the youngest, born in 1869). I am really anxious to find some living relatives and would be most grateful for any help. -- Kind Regards Sue Day Wanganui, NZ
