Olden Family

I've been researching my family history and my great-grandmother Sarah Anne Olden lived in Michelmersh in the 1880s. I think she had a large family and a lot of them are buried at Awbridge. She married Enos, or Eneas, Hillier and they lived in Awbridge and had 6 children. Ella was my grandmother, married name Myles. Iremember travelling around the area with her in the 1960s. I wonder if anyone remembers anything about the Oldens or the Hilliers? I believe Enos came from Titchfield and have found him on the 1881 census aged 15 living with a family called Abraham in Michelmersh. If anyone has any memories or any information I would love to hear from you.

My family are the Aylwards who use to own Holbury Mill as well as well as East Dean & one other. I'm doing my family tree now and if anyone has any info on these mills or the Aylward family or anyone who use to work for them I'd love to hear from you.

Born And Bred

I was born in Lockerley and married at the Baptist Church in Lockerley where my parents Fred and Olive Moore were wed and my grandparents Tom and Maud Oakley were also married. We now live in Australia where we moved to in 1972 but still make frequent trips back to the old country and spend many happy hours back in the village of our memories.

Please could any one in Kings Somborne let me know who to contact regarding my family history. I have a family tree that dates back to 1781. My decendents were from Kings Somborne. I have names from that time and would very much like to find out more.i.e. if my ancestors are buried in your village. If they are that would be very exciting for me and the rest of my family, who are spread out in the U.K. and across the world. I live in Maidstone in Kent and pass nearby to Andover frequently, when travelling to Devon to visit my daughters. I would love to visit if I thought I could find out more. If anyone could help, I would very much appreciate it.
P.S. My family name was INGS.
Thankyou,
Sue Shirley.

Lockerley Times Were Lovely!

I lived in Holbury View and had Mr Oakley on my right with his little shop and his brother and his wife running a taxi business on my left. The Johnsons lived further down. My friend lived on the Green where his Dad had a petrol station and car repair business. My friend Martha Jane Everett lived opposite - the first girl I fell in love with!
I loved my time in Lockerley and was sad to leave when my father was moved to Singapore.
My name is John Scott and my email is lockerley@hotmail.com
