I Went to School in Pilley But I Was Born in Sway
I went to school in Pilley. My teacher was a Miss Figgins, she was fantastic, she taught my father too, Fred Woodburn. We lived at the bungalow, Sandy Down, After my Gran Died Annie Woodburn shes laid to rest in boulder grave yard along with my grandad Walter Woodburn and my uncle Bill Tosdevine.sadly the Bungerlow isnt there any more. We use to sail down Pilley Hill on our bikes, not too much traffic then. I have such great memories of Pilley and all my old school friends. theres no place like home .

Pilley is my Maiden Name !
I do so appreciate these lovely pictures and this site is wonderful. I do not have any memories of this place. I was born in1956 and raised in America, Southern California, actually. However, I wanted to say thank you. Since I do not know much about my ancestry, just seeing the photos is fun to imagine one of my great great grandparents living around there. I know my father, Frederick Henry Pilley, who passed away in 2006, would have loved to have known there was such a gentle looking place as Pilley. God bless you. I'll be back to check and see if anyone adds memories. It sounds so beautiful, we have always loved the country and horses, does anyone still live there? Cindy (Pilley) Ahlgrim
Lymington in The 1940s
My maternal grandmother and mother were both born in Lymington, my mother attending the grammar school in Brockenhurst (I remember as a small boy her pointing it out to me from the train) In 1944, when the V1 'doodlebugs' started falling, it was decided that my mother, my sister and I should leave our home in London to join my grandmother in Lymington. It was a turbulent time in southern England, particularly as American army personnel were quartered on the other side of the Lymington River in Boldre massing for D-Day. (One advantage of this for a local youngster was the generous nature of the GIs who were always ready to hand out a stick of gum, or a doughnut to a hungry kid!). For about six months I went to school at the little, redbrick C of E school that backed on to Pragnell's Garage in Emsworth Road. It had a huge, gravel playground as an alternative to the 'rec', a short distance away next to the churchyard that... Read more
Elmers Court School
I remember Elmers Court School which was run at that time by several of the London Borourghs, we children had a good life there and I think the discpline did us the world of good.
Lymington 1841
My 2 x great grandparents William Stroud and Kitty Stroud (nee Fryer) lived in Lymington at the time of the 1841 census. My 1 x great grandfather Robert was born there in 1842, the youngest of 5 children. They lived in New Lane, and William was a schoolmaster. I believe he may have taught at the primary school, just off New Lane that was built in 1835, and now houses the Lymington museum. Unfortunately, William died at the age of 37 in 1846, and I have been unable to trace his ancestry. Does anyone have any Stroud or Fryer connections going back to that time? Many thanks Jenny Stroud.
Penerley Lodge, Beaulieu
My great-grandfather Francis Henry Wells worked at Penerley Lodge as a domestic servant for the Hartopp family. He then travelled with them to Little Dalby Hall, Leicestshire around 1888 as a coachman. The Wells family all came from around the area, Francis was born 1853 at Cucumber Cottages, Singleton, to William Wells and Emma Sherwin. He married Hester Annie Crook 1887 in Eling. He eventually ended his days living in Hornchurch, Essex working as a market gardener, he certainly criss crossed the country. I am tracing my family history so would appreciate if anyone has any interesting facts about Penerley Lodge, Cucumber Farm etc.
