Toogoods of Overton Hampshire

Hi Sarah,
I take it that you know of this website:

Do you have any idea how many years the Toogood family have been connected with Overton Hampshire?
I would like to trace George Toogood's Father, I have tried the LDS website and the Roots BMD, but no George Toogood, I have looked on the Overton history site but nothing comes up. Please could you point me in the right direction. I live over 4 hours away from the Hampshire Records Office, which would be the obvious place to go and spend a day.

There are William Toogood (Grocer) and John Toogood (F) listed in Universal British Directory 1792-98 in Overton

I have been in contact with the Records Office In Winchester, neither George Toogood nor John Toogood have been buried in the  Parish churchyard at Overton any suggestions.
The only other direction I can go in is to find Georges parents. The Will regarding George Toogood (Carpenter) is my grandfather and I now have a copy. The one regarding John Toogood is earlier and talks about his son William Estall Toogood (a Carpenter)could this be Georges father ?
I did find a reference to both George and his wife Sarah (nee Sherman or Sheerman) both having come from Eversley Hampshire perhaps they have been buried there?
When did the birth/baptism records start ?

The baptism records for Overton date from 1617, but there are many gaps before 1680 and before 1633, they are extracts only.

So I think we may be OK on that score!

A William Toogood was buried in Overton in 1827 (22 Jan ) aged 65.  Unfortunately I can't tell you if that is where he was born.

After 1837 you may have to look at the individual parish records for burials or the GRO death indexes.  There is not a lot online for Overton/Eversley that I know of that extends beyond 1837.
