351	John Bull (b abt 1637) must be part of this family as his sister Susanna Clasby was.	Family F767
352	John Croucher, his wife, Elizabeth née Sandy, and six children: John, Sarah, William, Kate, Charles and Lavinia are listed in Comyn's notebooks.	Croutear, John (I2553)
353	John is identified as a child of John and Ruth because Ruth is living with him on the 1871 census and identified as his mother.	Bass, John (I4952)
354	John James may be the same person as the William Bull living with his grandparents on the 1841 and '51 censuses.	Bull, John James (I2679)
355	John left a will indexed as "John Munday, sen., of Rime Hall, Fawley, Hampshire, gent.", 1846B/071 in the Hampshire Archives. I have not yet looked at this.	Munday, John (I3382)
356	John was single and living in Liverpool on the 1939 register. In 1941 and 1953 two Croutear children were born (Marie who died the same quarter, and William N) whose mother's maiden name was Kelly. John Owen and his brother Charles James were the only Croutear men in Liverpool at the time. Charles was married to Lilian Bailey, so either Lilian had been married before and her maiden name was Kelly, or John was married to a woman surnamed Kelly.	Croutear, John Owen (I2521)
357	John's daughter was born in 1738/9 and his wife remarried in 1743/4; he must have died between these dates.	Bull, John (I2760)
358	John's marriage licence says he was aged 25 in Oct 1742, putting his birth between Oct 1716 and Oct 1717, if the age is accurate. There are three possibilities at roughly this time: on 5 Jul 1716 at Eling, Hants, son of of Thomas Harding; on 14 Nov 1717 at Nether Wallop, Hants, son of John & Jane Harding; and on 16 Mar 1718 at Cholderton, Wilts, son of Robert & Elizabeth Harding. The Eling baptism can be ruled out, as on 21 Aug 1716 a "John son of Thomas Harding" was buried at Eling. There is no indication that that Cholderton or Nether Wallop children died young. Nether Wallop is closer than Cholderton is to West Dean, Winterslow, and Pitton and Farely, but not by very much. It is also a slightly better fit in terms of date. However, the John baptised in Nether Wallop had siblings called Jane and Mary, and the name Jane is notably absent from the West Dean family, despite being a very common name. On the other hand, the John baptised in Cholderton had siblings called Thomas, Robert, Daniel, Jonathan and Alexander. All these names appear again in the West Dean family. Neither Robert nor Daniel were especially popular names at this time, and Alexander was very rare, so this is significant. In fact, there were only three Alexander Hardings baptised in Hampshire or Wiltshire in the 18th century: in 1714 in Cholderton, Wilts; in 1752 in West Dean, Wilts; and in 1786 in Owslebury, Hants. The 1781 will of Alexander Harding of Boscombe provides further evidence. He left bequests to three "cousins", Alexander, John and Daniel, all sons of a John Harding, deceased; and splits the residue of his estate between his brother Robert, and another "cousin", Jonathan son of Jonathan, who were made joint executors. The first three "cousins" must surely be the children of John and Sabina baptised in West Dean. If the letter the Alexander from West Dean was "cousin", then by the elimination, very probably the testator was the child baptised in Cholderton in 1713/14. Cholderton and Boscombe are only a couple of miles from each other (though they're not strictly speaking neighbouring parishes). The Cholderton Alexander had a brother called Robert, who almost certainly lived to adulthood, married a woman called Abigail and had children with her in Cholderton, and was buried there in 1788. He is probably the first co-executor. The second co-executor can be explained too by the will of a Jonathan Hardin of Penton Mewsey, Hants which was proved in the Archdeaconary of Salisbury as his only property seemed to be a house in Bulford, Wilts. The will is dated 26 Sep 1774 and proved 11 Dec 1780. Bulford is a neighbouring parish to Cholderton, and on 29 Nov 1780, a 69-year-old Jonathan Harden from Bulford was buried in Cholderton. This must be the same man, and his age, together with the fact that he was buried in Cholderton rather than Bulford or Penton Mewsey, suggests he must be the son of Robert and Elizabeth. Jonathan makes his eldest son, Jonathan Harding of Enford, Wilts, his executor. This younger Jonathan is almost certainly the second co-executor of Alexander's will. We know that one of Alexander's "cousins" was the grandson of Robert and Elizabeth, and very probably the others were too. The word 'cousin' was used quite loosely at that time, and in particular was commonly used to describe nephews. Almost certainly that's how it is being used here; but even if the Alexander who died in 1781 was not Robert and Elizabeth's son, the evidence points to him being a close relative whose next of kin were the children and grandchildren of Robert and Elizabeth. Had the West Dean family actually come from Nether Wallop, they could still be more distant cousins of the Cholderton family, but in that case, is it likely that the Alexander from Boscombe would have singled them out for bequests in his will? It's not impossible, but I don't think it's very likely. Taken together, I think this is sufficient to establish the father of the West Dean family was the child baptised in Cholderton.	Harding, John (I3012)
359	John's mother is listed in the register as Mary, not Sarah. Similarly, his likely sister Martha's mother is listed as Elizabeth. I think these are most likely a clerical errors, as there's no evidence of a second adult Charles Bull in the Boldre area at this time, and Charles's will implies he had more than four children in 1775. Without including John and Martha, exactly four are known.	Bull, John (I5475)
360	John's parents are given as John & Dinah in the WFHS transcript, however he fits naturally into the sequence of children of John & Sabina, and there is no indication that there is more than one Harding family in West Dean at this time. Possibly the entry really says Binah, as a shortened form of Sabina.	Harding, John (I3008)
361	John's parents are listed as John and Elizabeth Crouter. However the 1780 will of David Hendy makes it clear that John and William are sons of John and Sarah née Hendy.	Croutear, John (I2553)
362	John's son William moved to Beaulieu, and as there is no sign of a burial for John in Whiteparish, it seems probable that he also moved to Beaulieu sometime after his wife's death in 1785. In 1790, a John Harding married a Mary Peckham in Beaulieu, and seem not to have had children. There are burials in Beaulieu for a John in 1798, and in 1817 for a Mary who was aged 71, so born c1746. As there are were no other recorded Hardings in Beaulieu at the time, it seems likely these are the burials of the couple who married in 1790. May would have been 44 when she married, which suggests a second marriage; and it is unlikely John was significantly younger. It therefore seems very likely that after the death of Mary (née White) in Whiteparish, he moved to Beaulieu and remarried. This also explains the otherwise unexplained marriage in 1810 of a Sarah Harden and Charles West in Beaulieu. It is William's sister. This means that all of the late-18th / early-19th century register entries at Beaulieu can be explained in terms of this one family.	Harding, John (I3008)
