SPIERS of Hampshire
« on: Thursday 21 May 09 19:51 BST (UK) »
Does anyone by chance have any information of the Spiers family in Hampshire.  I am particularly interested in Henry Spiers born about 1800 in Stockbridge who later moved to New Alresford.   Henry married Sarah probably around 1825 but I have been unable to find any marriage or birth records.  I have been to the Hampshire Family Records office in Winchester but could only find death and will records.  I have managed to get most of Henry & Sarah's decendents records but it would be really great if I could get back further.

Thanks in anticipation ;D

Hi John

Welcome to RootsChat.  :)

I have found Henry's marriage in New Alresford:

Henry Spiers married Sarah Whitear 8 Oct 1825.

I have found a baptism for Sarah in New Alresford:

Sarah Whitear baptised 5 Aug 1803, parents William and Mary Ann.

No luck with Henry though  :(

That was exceptionally quick guys.  Thanks very much.    In my ignorance, I came across an entry on 15/12/1799 for Henery Basborn son of Jenny Spires but thought Basborn was a second christian name and not a substitute for bastard.  Well you live and learn!     Not sure whether this is the right one or not but will try and pursue it further.    Can you tell me where you found the marriage information as I could not trace it and I would now like to get a copy of the marriage certificate.
Thanks again.

PS-off on holiday first thing tomorrow so wont be able to communicate for a while.

The information came from a parish register transcript.  At that date, there are no certificates.  Civil registration did not begin until 1 July 1837.  If you are able to go to Winchester again, you could print the page containing the entry from either the film or fiche of the register.  (Originals are not produced anymore.)  It won't contain any parents' names though.

Hi Jenny,
I have traced my Spiers roots back to Stockbridge commencing with Henry Spiers (b1799) who later moved to Alresford where the family remained until early 1900s.
Our Spiers tree is on Ancestry if you want to have a look.
If there is any connection please let me know.
John
