Yes, I'm sure Minstead was their "original" parish (though original ia a big word). I suspect my first Richard of Burley was the Richard son of Robert Cull baptised in Minstead in 1704 since he doesn't seem to show in the later Minstead records. The Minstead Culls were supplying small timber parts to the navy in Portsmouth so the connection with the sea probably goes back some way. The name Maurice was a trademark of the Minstead Culls, not at all common in the area as a whole. It has in fact led me to a totally unproven theory about how the Culls came to Minstead, but more of that later. So your 1771 Maurice Cull was very probably from Minstead; the first Maurice Cull of Burley (Joseph's brother) married and had family in Burley, but he didn't marry until 1776 so it is possible he had been at sea, and perhaps spent some time in Newfoundland, before that. If there were Culls going out to Newfoundland directly from Minstead then it will complicate the picture though they and the Burley Culls would very much have regarded each other as cousins at that time. There were certainly also Culls from other parts. I have downloaded the will of a John Cull of Newfoundland from the National Archives website, and he came from East Lulworth in Dorset. East Lulworth is at the east side of a peninsula known as the Isle of Purbeck, bounded on the west side by Poole harbour. Purbeck is famous for its marble, and there have been Culls in the Isle of Purbeck since at least the 1490s, when Henry VII wrote to the constable of Corfe Castle in Purbeck to complain about reports that he had taken bribes from local men to hunt the deer in the royal park there, including from one Henry Cull, marbler. The Purbeck Culls didn't go in for the name Maurice and they've certainly been separate from the Minstead Culls 35 miles away for some centuries. Whether t! here is any connection in the very dim past, I don't know. I haven't yet followed up on it as I've only just discovered the Newfoundland connection, but there are a few New Forest wills in the Hampshire Record Office where the testator is classified in the document description as "of Newfoundland", and they could provide interesting clues. Henry Miller was actually the man to whom Joseph Cull mortgaged Black Bush and another property in 1793; Henry is described as "seafaring man of Ringwood". The purpose of the transaction seems to have been to enable Joseph to raise £30 on the property. I wonder whether it may have been in connection with sending sons out to Newfoundland - I am very interested indeed to hear that Henry Miller's was a well known name in Newfoundland. There seem to have been only a limited number of Culls in the New Forest area, even in Minstead if you go back into the 17th century, and I have a total unproven theory regarding their previous origin. The surname is most common in Gloucestershire - in fact Culls are two a penny in that county - and the manors of Minstead and Bisterne belonged in the 15th century to the Gloucestershire Berkeleys of Beverstone, junior cousins of the Lords Berkeley. Beverstone Castle lies outside Tetbruy, an area full of Culls, and the trademark name of the Berkel! ey family is Maurice. In fact, two of the Berkeleys who owned Minstead were named Maurice. I believe that Joseph Cull and Henry Miller were probably first cousins. The Richard son of Robert whom I have tentaively identified as the Burley Richard had a sister Ruth, and in 1737 a Ruth Cull married a James Miller in Ringwood. I would be very happy to send you my lists of cole(s) entries from the Ringwood register, though there may be nothing new there. I'll also have a look at the notes I made from Hardcastle's book Records of Burley - I was still wondering whether they were the same family myself when ?I read it so I may have taken down something of interest to you. I'll email you with the stuff directly. In return, I'd be very very interested in anything you can provide me on the Hampshire Newfoundland connection. [email protected]

Haven't an actual itinerary yet - we generally spend the summer in NS researching but Bill would like to go to NF again this year as it has been 3 or 4 years since his last visit and he still has cousins in the area of HG and BR. My grandfather was born in Carbonear but there are no Gilletts there now - some Mahaney and Long 'distant cousins' are still there tho but I have never met or contacted any of them.

    3. A friend of mine is researching the Atkinson (Atkin) of Salt Harbour, Herring Neck area. The three young men are Arthur Atkinson son of Solomon Atkinson, Michael Atkinson son of Mrs. E Atkinson and Thomas Atkinson parents unknown. All were from Salt Harbour. Were they brothers or cousins? Arthur and Michael died in WW1 on the same day in 1918. There is no information on Thomas as of yet. They were a Roman Catholic family living in Salt Harbour. If anyone can connect to this family please drop me a line. Thank you Maureen

Oh yes, I have an older Maurice Cull in Fogo, i.e. older that the one you mention bn 1774. This one signs a document in 1771. More research is necessary to determine Whether he was your guy or another Maurice Cull from Minstead. I am interested in Coles of Ringwood area, so any records you have will be appreciated.

It is very confusing, with Cull, Cole, Cole(s) and Curll in the same parish! I painstakingly made separate lists of all the Cull entries, all the Coll entries and all the Coles entries in the registers, and it became clear that Coles were and entirely different family. so are Coll on the whole but one or two of the early Cull entries are down as Coll, probably because Cull was unfamiliar in the parish. In general I get the impression that final -s on surnames was largely optional (eg Grove and Groves would be the same family). In fact, once you weed it out it becomes clear that the Cull situation in Burley was quite simple. It all started with the arrival of Richard Cull's children in the Ringwood baptismal register in the 1730s. Fortunately, the registers note which individuals belonged to Burley as opposed to Ringwood. Richard's second son, also Richard, died in the same year as his father, 1755, so only Joseph and Maurice married and produced children. So there really aren't a lot of Cull lines in Burley and it's all pretty straightforward. Any Newfoundland Culls out there??? Marie

I have Cull ancestors who came from Burley in the New Forest in England, near the south coast. I have just received a copy of some documents relating to their property in Burley. One of these records how my great-great-grandfather Stephen Cull purchased the family home, Black Bush, from his brother Maurice Cull, fisherman, of Fogo, Newfoundland )brother Maurice born 1774). This has opened up a new trail for me, as I'd previouly had no idea what became of any of Stephen's brothers. There was also a Richard (b.1765) and a William (b.1771). I wonder if William may have been the William Cull, fisherman/ furrier of Fogo, who in 1803 took a Boethuck woman, brought her to the Governor's House in St John's and made a bit of a hash out of trying to return her to her people. But anyway, it sounds as though we may be connected. Do you know who your Stephen's father was?
