no merry i don't, no certificate yet. saving pennies for xmas, so just guessing at the moment. just found the connection the other day. but! today i also found a james hurford b- 1786 queen camell, somerset,england to a sarah hurford b- 1790 christchurch, hampshire, england with a daughter emma hurford b- 1834 lymington don't know if these are connected yet, or if they had any other children. lynnxx

Address was BRIDGE St in 1851!! (not Budge!) We are having a look to see if we have any Hurford entries (don't think so)... Several Keepings have married into hubby's line, but they are all women so descendants have other names and because they have married in we have not done their trees going back. However, these villages were FULL of cousin marriages and probably worse (LOL) ........I'll see if I can find anything else for you. Don't suppose you have that 1850 marriage cert yet? Merry

merry, the earliest entry i have is for a henry hurford b-1829c boldre, hampshire m-1850 to emma keeping b-1829c hampshire. henry was a carpenter. address was budge street. thats all the info at the moment. no gentry's, merry. lynnxx

You may find this article about East Boldre useful. The first couple of pages go some way to explain the set up of the various parishes in the area...... http://www.geodata.soton.ac.uk/newforest/public/resources/eastb.html Merry

Lynn, If your late husband's family came from the Beaulieu area and they were there at all between the 1750's and 1900, then it would be virtually impossible for him NOT to be related to my husband!! (unless your husband's ancestors were Gentry, that is!!) We are minor experts on Beaulieu/Boldre/East Boldre/Beaulieu Rails area, so if there's anything more specific you want to know...... Merry

thanks christine, will have a look. cheers lynnxx

I STRONGLY resist the suggestion that the first number isn't much use! Go to : http://www.ordnancesurvey.*co.uk/oswebsite/getamap/ (remove *) click on the Get-a-map icon and put the reference in the search box. The local map will come up immediately and there's a link to the historical maps site which will pull up the nineteenth century OS map of the same area (when it's working -which it isn't always!). Christine

alan, thank you so much. will have a look. lynnxx

alan, thank you , but having a blonde moment.LOL what are the numbers for? have never searched cemetery records before. any guidence would be appreciated. lynnxx

merry, do you have a list of the churches nearby the areas? i'm in wales and don't know the area atall. LOL lynnxx

merry, wow! my hurfords came from boldre, lymington beaulieu a lot of the cencus name it as hants before the area name. don't know why. the hurford name has changed over the years , hereford, harford, herford, guess some bright spark over the years could not spell his name correctly , thats why its changed so often. LOL only got as far back as 1820's. any help would be greatfully welcomed merry. thanks lynnxx

Cemeteries did not come into play until 1837 (and then only slowly, beginning with overcrowded areas) - before that all burials were in church burial grounds. Do you know where in Hampshire these Hurfords came from?? I have the Hants Burial Index up to 1837 (supposedly complete to this date!) There are no burials on my CD for Hurford, but there is one Hurforde and dozens of Harfords and very similar..... 13 NOV 1649 HARFARD?
