Can anyone point me to online PR's for South Stoneham please? Failing that, does anyone have them on fiche or cd & would be willing to look up a baptism for me?
I'm looking for further info on the baptism of;
Charity CHALK bapt 12 Apr 1795 South Stoneham
I'd like to confirm her parents (believed to be John Chalk & Mary )
Many thanks,
Debbie

The Hampshire records office sells fiche cheaply.

Thanks Pauline...yep, unfortunately, that's what I thought :( I did look at Knightroots, but they haven't got her listed...guess I could email them with a request if all else fails.
It's one of those cases where someone 'tells' you this piece of info, but I'd like to confirm it for myself. Failing all else, I guess a trip to Winchester is calling ;)
Have a great week-end,
Debbie

South Stoneham baptisms are apparently included on the IGI for the period you're looking for. I can only see a Joseph Chalk born around that time (1798) with the parents John & Mary Chalk.
I've checked for marriages in Hampshire for a couple by this name - including some rather fanciful variations - and can't see anything where the wife is Mary. I have found one in South Stoneham for a John Chalk marrying an Ann, in 1793.

Many thanks Daisy, I'd found her marriage on the IGI some time ago, but I hadn't checked variants for CHALK...silly me, should've known better :)
But I had been told John & Mary were the parents, so that's good. I'd aslo been told about poss brothers being Joseph & George, so there's more I can follow up.
Many thanks for your help.

Hi,
Many of the South Stoneham parish records are held in the Southampton Central Library
You can e-mail them - the archivist there is very helpful.

Hello Debbie. I notice that you are interested in the surname Phillips of Botley and Southampton. My Great, Great Grandmother was Mary Ann Phillips, born 1814 in South Stoneham, although in the census records she is down as being born in Botley. I believe she was the daughter of James Phillips and Elizabeth Dolling. In 1841 she marries John James Target in Islington, Middlesex. Between that date and the 1851 census the family dropped the surname Targett, and it became James.
I have been searching for a connection for a long time as they might be able to shed some light on an old family story.
Best wishes, Sue

Hampshire Genealogical Society have produced some really great CDs of PR transcriptions which I have purchased and found really useful. They are moderately priced and cover the whole county excluding the IofW.
