Memories of Hampshire
Holbury Mill
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.
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.
Family Connections.
My late husband's father and uncle owned the grocery shop known as Hook Brothers. This shop was forced to close when Barclays Bank took over the building in the early 1960s. The closure meant that links were severed with noted local residents such as the Mountbatten family at Broadlands.
Broadlads Estate
My grandfather farmed Bushey Leazes farm on the Broadlands estate until his retirement. I loved that farm, playing in hay lofts, milking the cows, they had guard geese that would come down the long lane from the farm and not let you by till Gran shouted down at them. I lived nearby in Malt House Cottage, Leigh, but spent most of my time at the farm.
