Ten years on and Knightroots / Hampshire OPC seems to have disappeared. Does anyone have an update on what's happened to them?

Wiltshire / Mere Papers - M.F. Tighe - Number 13
« on: Monday 04 August 25 11:45 BST (UK) »
Hello, I'm looking for a copy of M.F. Tighe's 'Mere Papers' - specifically number 13, 'Woodlands and the Dodingtons.'
Can anyone point me in the right direction please.
Thanks,
Joy

Wiltshire / Re: Henry Wright - chimney sweep of Mere

Thanks everyone for your kind replies.
I have Henry and Sarah's descendants, i.e. children, in-laws, grandchildren etc. What I'm desperate to know - and this has been my brickwall for 20 plus years! - is where they came from; who were Henry and Sarah's parents, grandparents etc.
If they were the couple who married in Portsea, why did they end up in Mere? Could his wife have been Sarah Sheppard from Gillingham (baptised there in Mar 1740). If that's the case, why did they go to Portsea to get married. Perhaps they eloped? Maybe Henry was originally a sailor, if so, where was he from?
Lots of ifs, buts and maybes but no definitive answers. Grrr!
So, I'm hoping there may be clues 'outside the box,' for example in apprenticeship records and so on.
Ultimately, I'm wanting to trace my maternal ancestry as far back as I can but I've reached a dead end with Sarah.
Yours hopefully,
Joy

Thanks everyone for your kind replies.
It has taught me to think laterally - outside the box. Consequently, I have been focusing on the photographer and his whereabouts which has thrown up some interesting possibilities. I'm now leaning more towards Arthur Gatehouse but will update you another time.
Best regards

Thanks shanreagh and gadget for your feedback. It's interesting that you both think it may have been taken in the 1890s.
Shanreagh, having taken another look, I think you could be right about the age.
At the moment it's looking like Fred could be our man
I've attached a scan of the back of the pic but sadly there's not much to see.
