I am desperately trying to locate my Gt Gt Grandmother~ her name was Elizabeth CROOK. Elizabeth had an illegitimate daughter in 1882 and name her Annie - she later married Frederick Parsons. I know the family lived in Leckford Cottages~ Andover Road~ Weeke~ Winchester. Although I have Annies birth certificate and marriage certificate. I cannot find out what happened to her mum Elizabeth CROOK (born 1864) - she was sometimes known as Bessie (on Census).

Hello~ **Thanks for having this easy to follow WebSite. **My great grandad was from Abbots Worthy. He joined the Royal Artillery in the mid to late 1800's and was shipped out to Bermuda and then to the Halifax~ Nova Scotia~ Canada area. His name was Henry Grantham and he was the son of John Grantham of Abbots Worthy. **Any information would be greatly appreciated. Or how I can obtain further information would also be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone. My name is Richard James and our family lived in the (old) **Vicarage from 1940 to 1952. I have tried to keep in touch by fleeting visits **when I am over from Australia. My Mum is still alive and will be 93 in January **next year.**The main reason for this notice is to enquire as to whether the POST OFFICE was **housed in Ken Bookham's cottage by the red phone box at the bottom of Church **Lane. in the early 1940's. I remember when the Post Office was later set up at **Mrs Mott's on the corner of the Bunny opposite the Peat~ but I have a vague **memory that previously it WAS at Mrs Bookham's (& that is maybe why the phone **box is situated there). The other memory I have of that particular spot~ was **going down to get milk dipped up straight from the churn~ in Ken's dairy which **was at the very end of the house. One had to go in through the gate between the **phonebox & the end wall of the house~ to be met and attacked by the most **fearsome rooster there has ever been - Talk about crying over spilt milk.....**Would be very interested to hear if my misty recollection is correct.**Regards to all**Richard james
