801	The marriage licence says both are of Fawley; the HGS transcript of the register transcribes Jeremiah as Jeremy Martin.	Family F935
802	The marriage licence was granted on 5 Oct 1742 for a marriage in West Dean or Winterslow. The groom was a batcher, aged 25, a thresher of West Dean; the bride was a spinster, aged 21 of West Dean.	Family F833
803	The marriage record states that the Lillian who married James P O'Reilly was the daughter of George Croutear and Alice Smith, and gives her age as 18 and her place of birth as Woonsocket. Nevertheless, by the time of the 1920 census, Lillian is living with her parents, listed as single, and still using the surname Croutear. And in 1925 the marriage was announced of Miss Lillian Croutear to Dr Harry Wilkinson in Los Gatos, California. Although Lillian's age is not quite right the Rhode Island Historical Cemetery Commission records the grave of Ann Wilkinson née Croutear, wife of Harry Wilkinson, and daughter of George and Alice (Smith) Croutear, so it must be the same woman, unless she had an otherwise unrecorded sister with a very similar name.	Family F645
804	The middle name seems anachronistic but is used in multiple places in the parish registers.	Martell, Philip Benjamin (I3496)
805	The mother is identified as Hannah, not Sarah, in the baptism.	Day, Elizabeth (I5549)
806	The mother's name was recorded as Dina, but this isn't the first time Bina or Binah, short for Sabina, has been confused with Dina.	London, Ann (I3041)
807	The only baptism at Bishop's Waltham at this time is 15 Oct 1661, for a daughter of a Thomas White, but this would make her 54 when their last child was born – impossibly old. There are several other candidates in nearby parishes and no clear reason to select one over the rest.	White, Mary (I4735)
808	The only evidence so far identified for Edith's existence is the 1565 Visitation of Wiltshire.	Camplin, Edith (I3882)
809	The only plausible baptism for a Charles Thomas in the HGS index is in Ellingham on 29 May 1791, son of William and Martha. However that is almost certainly the baptism of the Charles Thomas found on the 1841 census in Ellingham, and in the 1851 and '61 censuses in Harbridge, living with his wife Martha. Many of the descendants of James and Elizabeth of Damerham used both the surnames Thomas and Goffe, and this dual surname usage extends back at least to Elizabethan times. The only plausible baptism for a Charles Goffe in the HGS index is in Lyndhurst on 17 Apr 1789, son of John and Elizabeth Goffe. There's no indication that members of the Goffe family from Lyndhurst did also use the surname Thomas, but regardless, this Charles was buried in Lyndhurst on 22 Oct 1813, aged 24. If Charles is an unrecorded son of one of the couples known to be living in Beaulieu at this time, it can only be Henry and Mary, or George and Hannah. On the 1841 census, Charles is shown as aged 45–49 (i.e. born 1791–96), born in Hampshire, and is living with the elderly Henry Thomas. The household is enumerated in between the households of Henry's two sons-in-law, William Harding and Stephen Collins, so if Henry needed looking after in his old age, his daughters were on hand to who could presumably have done so. That he was living with Charles strongly suggests Charles was his son. (There is also a Charles Thorne on the 1841 census, aged 45, with his children William and Anna. Ancestry.com has mistranscribed his surname as Thomas, but there is little doubt the name actually reads Thorne and he is man who married Mary Gould in 1828.)	Thomas, Charles (I3205)
810	The parents are identified as George & Mary Willess in the baptism register. Perhaps this is a different family, but the dates fit for it to be a child of George & Ann. Quite likely this is an error by an inattentive clerk writing up the register some time after the event.	Willis, Mary (I1814)
811	The parish register has his name as John Carter while the bishop's transcripts have William Williames. The surnames are know aliases. John seems more likely as there was a brother named William.	Williams, John (I3046)
812	The place of birth on the 1901 census appears to read "Haddocks".	Langford, Frank Albert (I822)
813	The record actually says baptised 1 Nov (i.e. several weeks before he was born), however a duplicate entry in the register which has been crossed out says born and baptised 1 Dec.	Cronin, James (I1034)
814	The sepulchral brass gives his date of death as 20 Mar 1412 ("XX. die mensis Marcii Anno Dni. Millmo.CCCC^o XII."), but his IPMs in Kent and Sussex put his death as 30 Dec 1413.	Echyngham, Sir William (I4585)
815	The surname Hackwell does not appear to be local. Possibly the HGS index has mistranscribed (or the clerk miswritten) a name like Haskell or Haswell.	Hackwell, Ann (I3775)
816	The surname is spelt Joslin in the marriage register, though her signature there clearly reads Jocelyn.	Jocelyn, Ann (I2027)
817	The surname is spelt Maros on her marriage.	Marault, Jeanne Françoise (I2613)
818	The surname on the marriage register appears to be Jade, but this name is virtually non-existent in Britain. (FreeBMD has just one Jade birth in the whole country, which is in 1973.) Lade is a common surname in East Sussex, and the GRO record for Hannah's marriage indexes it as Lade.	Lade, Hannah (I658)
819	The tables décennales for her marriage give her surname as Halley, but in the marriage record it is clearly Holley with an 'o'.	Holley, Aimée Honorine Constance (I2131)
820	The tables décennales say 20 Jul.	Gosselin, Marie Anne Louise (I2625)
821	The West Dean burial register at this time identifies the parents even of elderly adults. In this case the parents are given as Simon and Dorothy Cheater.	Cheater, Richard (I3806)
822	The WFHS index lists John Hacher and Daved Barbee marrying in 1683 with a note saying "No date given. (Not sure if this is a couple, or two men - register not clear)." I cannot locate this entry in the register, though the register is very confused this early on with entries written in any available space. I don't think Daved is likely to be a woman's name, though I've seen John written where Johan (a form of Joan or Jane) is meant. But as we have a John Hatcher appearing as father in the baptism register the next year, I think John and Daved are both men, and their wives were not listed.	Family F948
823	The WFHS transcript gives John's abode as "Out of Wiltshire" and adds a note saying "John is of East Dean". Mary was a "spinster of this parish".	Family F832
824	The WFHS transcript says the surname is Carter in the parish register and Williams in the bishop's transcript. This is consistent with him being described as Williams alias Carter (or vice versa) in later life	Williams, Edward (I3031)
825	The will of "David Hendey of the Tything of Badsley in the Parish of Boulder and County of Southampton Blacksmith", dated 21 Feb 1780, leaves his estate to his "beloved wife Elizabeth Hendey" for her life or until she remarries. Then his son William Hendey gets "the House I now live in with the garden and piec of land ajoyning the Same with the Barn and Stable". His son-in-law George Stoate and daughter Jane Stoate get his "New Shop with the Tools therecontaind", and also the "use of the House and garden Late John Crouters to Live in without molestation untill Will and John Crouter atain to the age of twenty one years and then its to go to the Sons of John and Sarah Crouter with all the Household Goods belonging thereunto with their mothers Clothes for their own use and benefit". John Crouter gets the "old shop and tooles". After his wife's death he orders that his "son Will Hendey do take Willm Crouter and provide for him meat Drink and Clothes with Schooling untill hee is twelve years Old and Prentics hem to som trade". Similarly, his "Son in Law George Stoate shall take the other lad John Crouter and provid for him suficent meat drink and Clothing with Schooling untill the lad attain to the age of twelve years and then to prentice him or show him the trade of a blacksmith." Also mentioned are his daughters Ann Griffin, Betty Lancaster and Mary Bucket. His son Willm Hendey is to pay his grandson Joseph Lancaster £10 if he lives two years after David and Elizabeth's death. His "wareing apparle" (i.e. clothing) were left to his "wife and and [sic] five Children and to the two Sons of my Daughter Sarah Crouter".	Hendey, David (I5815)
826	The workhouse register of deaths says he was aged 85, but the parish burial register says he was 84. Both spell his surname "Blegborough".	Blakeborough, Abraham (I4316)
827	There are baptisms at Exbury in the Fawley register for James, John and Nicholas Cabel on 3 May 1730, described as adults from Stone. Very likely these were Clemence's brothers and for some reason they all went unbaptised as children.	Cabel, Clemence (I976)
828	There are burials at Eling on 3 Nov 1629 and 30 Dec 1630 for Christian Lovells. One is probably this woman.	White, Christian (I3919)
829	There are burials for Joseph Blake on 14 Sep 1748 and 27 Dec 1757, which must be for father and son, one way round or the other. Most likely the 1748 burial is the father's as the register is generally good at stating the father of an infant.	Blake, Joseph (I1969)
830	There are burials for Joseph Blake on 14 Sep 1748 and 27 Dec 1757, which must be for father and son, one way round or the other. Most likely the 1748 burial is the father's as the register is generally good at stating the father of an infant.	Blake, Joseph (I1970)
831	There are candidate baptisms at Bishop's Waltham on 14 Sep 1662, the son of Thomas, at Bursledon on 1 May 1663, the son of Andrew, or at Bishop's Waltham on 10 Aug 1673, the son of William. The Bursledon baptism can probably be eliminated as Thomas son of Andrew was buried there on 9 Jan 1672. Burials at Bishop's Waltham on 29 Jul 1667 and 10 Aug 1687 are presumably the other child and the father, but this leaves the question open whether this Thomas was the son of Thomas or of William.	Strugnell, Thomas (I4734)
832	There are candidate baptisms for a Sarah Monger: on 1 Jan 1730/1 in Tadley, in the far north of Hampshire, for the daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth, but she more likely married John Rampton in Pamber; on 14 Jul 1727 in Godalming, Surrey, for a daughter of Robert and Elizabeth, but she seems to have been buried there on 6 May 1752; and on 29 Dec 1727 in Godalming, Surrey, for a daughter of Jonas and Elinor. Tadley is about 50 miles from Boldre, while Godalming is about 65 miles. There are plenty of nearer parishes where the register has been lost of which have not been indexed.	Monger, Sarah (I3253)
833	There are four John Pinnicks of similar ages living in the Fawley area. (1) John, son of Richard & Sarah, baptised 1812 at Dibden, buried 1813 at Fawley. (2) John, son of William & Elizabeth, baptised 1817 at Beaulieu, buried 1844 at Beaulieu. (3) This John, son of Robert & Anne, baptised 1819 at Fawley. (4) John, son of Richard & Sarah, baptised 1821 at Dibden, buried 1825 at Fawley. Numbers (2) and (3) both appear on the 1841 census; both vanish afterwards, though there's no sign that this John (3) has died.	Pinnick, John (I915)
834	There are further children baptised at St Thomas's catholic church which need transcribing.	Family F535
835	There are no Willises in Beaulieu before John's marriage. Most likely John is somehow related to William Willis of Fawley, but it's not clear how. John cannot be William's son as William has a son called John.	Willis, John (I1922)
836	There are several candidate baptisms, including 25 Dec 1746 at Marden, dau of Richard and Ann Hayward, and 22 Sep 1745 at Wilcot, dau of James and Mary Hayward.	Hayward, Ann (I5332)
837	There are three more baptisms at Beaulieu of illegitimate children of a Mary Bull, though the dates mean we cannot be sure it's the same woman. They are: Ann Maria on 21 Apr 1776, Thomas on 20 May 1777, Betty on 22 Jul 1781. If the mother is the same, it leaves a big gap between Betty and Jacob (unless Isaac fits in the gap), but it is not an impossibly large gap. If Mary were 20 when Ann Maria were born, she'd have been 39 when Jacob was born. There are two Mary Bulls in the baptism registers in the area near Beaulieu of a suitable age to be the mother of Isaac and Jacob. One was baptised on 22 Aug 1756 at Boldre, daughter of Charles; the other on 27 Nov 1778 at Beaulieu, daughter of Richard and Anne. Richard's daughter Mary couldn't have been the mother of the earliest three illegitimate children, so it seems likely that the mother of Ann Maria, Thomas and Betty was Charles's daughter Mary. Charles's daughter Mary seems to be the Mary Bull who married Henry Thomas on 21 Jul 1785. When that Mary (now surnamed Thomas) was buried on 12 Dec 1831, her age was given as 75, which matches the 1785 baptism, suggesting this is right. If so, this tells us that Jacob and Isaac's mother was not the daughter of Charles, and therefore we should give serious consideration to whether she could be the daughter of Richard and Anne. There seems to be no burial that would suggest Richard and Anne's daughter Mary died as a child. Assuming she was baptised as a baby, she would have been 16½ when Jacob and Isaac were conceived, assuming they were twins. Young, but not implausibly so. Perhaps this is the Mary Bull who married Thomas Hewitt, a widower, in Boldre on 23 Oct 1797. Probably this is the Thomas Hewitt who had three children with another Mary in 1776-89 in Beaulieu, and that Mary is quite likely the woman who was buried 18 Jan 1797 at Beaulieu aged 47. The dates fit with Mary Bull needing a husband to provide for her young son Jacob, and Thomas Hewitt needing a wife to care for his children. But if Jacob's mother did marry Thomas Hewitt, they seem to vanish shortly after. There is a burial of a Mary Hewitt on 30 Dec 1834 in Boldre, aged 77. If this is Thomas Hewitt's wife, Mary née Bull, then it puts her birth in 1757, which is exactly the right age to be Charles's daughter, not Richard and Anne's. But if that's the case, we're left with no-one who could be Henry Thomas's wife. A more likely possibility is that the Mary who died in 1834 is the Mary Pocock who married William Hewitt on 26 Dec 1783 in Lymington. William and Mary seem to have had children up to 1803 so Mary Pocock cannot be any of the other Mary Hewitts buried in the area. William was also buried in Boldre (on 23 Mar 1845, aged 97), so we know William and Mary remained in the area, whereas there is no suitable burial for Thomas Hewitt in the area. This suggests we can conclude Thomas and Mary left the Boldre area. That means there's no difficulty having Charles's daughter marrying Henry Thomas.	Bull, Mary (I2673)
838	There are two different James Keepings of about the same age: one baptised 30 Jul 1826 at Beaulieu, the son of James & Sarah; the other baptised 14 Oct 1827 at Boldre, the son of John & Catherine. We can be pretty sure it was James & Sarah's son who married Sarah Munden in 1853, as on the 1861 census the younger James & Sarah are living next door to the widowed older Sarah (née Lawrence).	Keeping, James (I2854)
839	There are two Emma Bulls baptised in 1854–55 in East Boldre: Emma on 11 Jun 1854, daughter of John and Mary; and Emma Harriet on 14 Jan 1855, daughter of Charles and Charlotte. Both will have been the same age at the time each April when the censuses were taken.	Bull, Emma (I2989)
840	There are two John baptised in Eling at appropriate times, one 4 Oct 1582, the other on 1 May 1586; neither give the parents. There is little reason to prefer one date over the other, and the other may be the John buried on 3 Mar 1586, however uncertainty over the calendar used in the HGS index means it is unclear whether this burial was before or after the 1586 baptism.	Lovell, John (I3924)
841	There are two Joseph Mundays in Fawley, and untangling them has been a bit involved. One was buried 3 Mar 1843, aged 49 (b c1794), the other was buried 15 Mar 1873, aged 72 (b c1801). The former was resident in the workhouse at the time of death, while the latter left a will with an estate valued at approaching £18,000. The 1834 electoral register includes a Joseph Munday of Church and Westland Farms. On the 1851 census, an unmarried Joseph Munday, aged 51 (b c1800), is resident at Church Farm. This must be the wealthy Joseph as the other one had already died. As that man was single in 1851, We can be fairly sure he is not the father of the children baptised in the 1830s. There is a baptism on 17 Sep 1799, son of John and Elizabeth, but this much better fits the known age of the wealthy Joseph. Also, John and Elizabeth's spinster daughter, Grace, died in 1858 leaving a will making her brother, Joseph Munday, gentleman, her executor. The other Joseph was an agricultural labourer and is highly unlikely to be described as a gentleman. As Grace was conclusively John & Elizabeth's daughter, the wealthy Joseph must have been their son too, meaning Joseph the labourer was not. I suspect this Joseph may have been a child of William and Mary, and therefore a brother of the Thomas Munday with whom he was living in 1841.	Munday, Joseph (I3361)
842	There are two possible baptisms for William, both at Fawley. One is on 17 May 1709, son of John of Stone (a little north of Lepe); the other is on 6 Jan 1711/12, son of William. William, the second possible father, is likely the man buried 19 Jul 1716, with "Exbury" written next to the entry in the Fawley burial register. The two sons are almost certainly the William who married Clemence Cabel and later Sarah Hunt, and the William who married Jane Wort. The question is which is which? Clemence's husband seems to have lived in Ower (just north of Calshot) and later in Rhimehall (the south part of Fawley village); Jane's husband lived in Exbury, though he married Jane in Boldre. This weakly suggests that Jane's husband was the son of William, as both lived in Exbury; and that Clemence's husband was the son of John, as Ower is much closer to Stone than to Exbury. Also, Clemence's marriage in 1734 was before Jane's in 1741, so probably Clemence's husband was the older.	Banks, William (I970)
843	There are two possible baptisms for William, both at Fawley. One is on 17 May 1709, son of John of Stone (a little north of Lepe); the other is on 6 Jan 1711/12, son of William. William, the second possible father, is likely the man buried 19 Jul 1716, with "Exbury" written next to the entry in the Fawley burial register. The two sons are almost certainly the William who married Clemence Cabel and later Sarah Hunt, and the William who married Jane Wort. The question is which is which? Clemence's husband seems to have lived in Ower (just north of Calshot) and later in Rhimehall (the south part of Fawley village); Jane's husband lived in Exbury, though he married Jane in Boldre. This weakly suggests that Jane's husband was the son of William, as both lived in Exbury; and that Clemence's husband was the son of John, as Ower is much closer to Stone than to Exbury. Also, Clemence's marriage in 1734 was before Jane's in 1741, so probably Clemence's husband was the older.	Banks, William (I986)
844	There are two possible burials – one in Durley in 1854 for a 69-year-old Abraham Warner, and one in West End in 1857 for a 72-year-old Abraham Warner. These both suggest a 1784/5 birth. There was a second Abraham in Durley.	Warner, Abraham (I4534)
845	There are two separate John & Fanny Smiths living in Hardley in the early 19th century. The clearest evidence for this is the two separate death certificates for Fanny. One in 1851 for the 75-year-old [1776] widow of a John Smith, labourer; the other in 1841 for the 57-year-old [1784] wife of a John Smith, cordwainer. Both Fannys are on the 1841 census, as is the other John.	Family F476
846	There doesn't seem to be a suitable birth registered in Saint-Jean-de-la-Rivière. Auguste's father is given as Auguste, a seaman, in the marriage register, and he was said to be 21 in 1871. The closest in the Saint-Jean-de-la-Rivière register is a Jules Auguste Medérique Gosselin, born 3 Nov 1848, son of Armand Charles Nicolas Gosselin, a "cultivateur" (farmer). However he died the same year. Further afield, the Cercle Généalogique de la Manche index lists only one Auguste son of Auguste born 1840–60, but that is in Rauville-la-Place, where a Auguste Jules Désiré Gosselin son of Auguste Gosselin and Aimée Gosselin was born on 22 Dec 1856.	Gosselin, Auguste (I1991)
847	At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld.	Private (I2233)
848	There is a possible baptism on 9 Aug 1776 at St Michael, Southampton, son of John & Mary. This is the parish where John married Fanny, so it's at least plausible.	Smith, John (I1704)
849	There is a second James Willis of a similar age. The other one was baptised in 1827, son of John and Susan. Probably it is William and Elizabeth's son who was the James "of Cadland Quay" that died in 1844, as his father, William, was living in Quay Cottage in 1841 and in Cadland 1851 and '61, whereas John and Susan were from Ower. This means John and Susan's son James must have married Elizabeth and moved to Southampton. The age of the James in Southampton is more consistent with an 1827 birth than an 1825 birth.	Willis, James (I1775)
850	There is a second James Willis of a similar age. The other one was baptised in 1825, son of William and Elizabeth. Probably it is William and Elizabeth's son who was the James "of Cadland Quay" that died in 1844, as his father, William, was living in Quay Cottage in 1841 and in Cadland 1851 and '61, whereas John and Susan were from Ower. This means John and Susan's son James must have married Elizabeth and moved to Southampton. The age of the James in Southampton is more consistent with an 1827 birth than an 1825 birth.	Willis, James (I1749)
