Greetings
Does someone know the history of the Thomas Alexander Banks family at Fox Farm, Andover Down.
1. I believe Thomas Alexander Banks, b. 1824, lived and farmed there sometime after 1870.
2. Who were Thomas Alexander Banks and his wife's b. 1825, family?
3. Did the farm remain in the family? Until when?
Thank you
CDB

Thank you for such complete information. The BANKSES I am searching seem to have matches to what you have presented. However, I expected to find:
Thomas Alexander Banks b. abt 1859, son of Thomas A Banks. This Thomas A. Banks was married to Laura Stokes and lived in Fulham, Middlesex, before moving to Andover area about 1904-6.
HIS son, Thomas A Banks was born in in Fulham, Middlesex, 1899. Thomas b. 1899 is my husband's father.
Perhaps I have led myself astray and mistaken Fox Farm for another farm Thomas b.1859 came back to in Andover Down/Longparish.
I am not aware of what Emma Banks' maiden might have been. I have not heard of 'Lucken".

Your help is narrowing down my search very well. I see that you, as am I, are a night owl.. ;) I do my best work in the quiet, dark of night.
This is my Thomas A Banks. And it seems he was at Fox Farm or at least Fox Cottages. Elfrida is a family name as is Laura in recent generations.
My search skills with census have not been developed at all, so I do presently appreciate your help.

There was a Thomas Alexander Banks marrying an Emma Taylor March Qtr 1853, St Pancras. This may be the right marriage, as in 1891 there is a Timothy Taylor living with/visiting Thomas Alexander, and described as his brother-in -law. Both Emma and Timothy were born in Winchester or nearby Headbourne Worthy
