I have very happy memories of staying with my grand-parents in Hartley Wintney right next to the common aged 5yr-7yrs. My grand-father kept chickens and we were allowed to feed them and collect the eggs. Did anyone know my grand-father? His name was William James Benwell?

The Marlow family of publicans
My great-grandfather was Samuel Marlow and a publican at the time of his marriage in 1897. His father was William Marlow and my family tree research has led me to the White Hart in Eversley Cross where there were two succesive landlords of these names.
