Hampshire memories
Convalescence During The War at Marsh Court
I have mainly unhappy memories of Marsh Court. During the Second World War it was used as a convalescent home for children and in 1944 I was sent there after being knocked down by a car in Tettenhall where I was housed as an evacuee from London. I was also suffering war trauma and I was just four. I remember a long tree-lined drive leading up to a big house with a wooden door and,on the right as you entered, a room with a big dolls house. To distract me I was invited to play with it so as not to notice my parents leaving. It had a moving figure of a little old lady inside and when you rang the door bell she passed by the window.

The Droves Connecting The Villages of Houghton And Broughton.
I have many memories of driving around the droves between Houghton, Broughton and up to the Beeches on the Buckboard, an old flatbed Austin 7 owned by Richard Carter and later myself. I lived in North Houghton at the Dairy House and went to Stockbridge Primary School and then to Andover Grammar School

Family History Dated 1781 Kings Somborne.
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.
