If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Hursley was the family home of the Wild family from the 1700s till quite recently. My great-great-grandfather was the master blacksmith at the village forge which is still there today, and is buried in Hursley church yard along with quite a few of my ancestors.
With many Thanks to Larry and Gill who have now enabled me to find the "Resting place" of John Young who died in 1917 {WW1} As far as we know his Widow Mary travelled to Hursley from Barking and he was buried at this Church Cemetery. I am in hopes that I may one day visit the grave, till then RIP dear granddad. Edna x
