There are more records from the mid-1800s for Herefordshire that are not online.

The local council have electoral records and other useful lists of individuals which might include the Hankins.

There are also old local newspapers and poll books available at Hereford Library.

Hagley Hall can be seen on this old OS map, if you have not already found it.

Choose square 034/SW then zoom in. It is towards the Bartestree end of Hagley, near the crossroads.

The Monument Inscription Index lists possible members of your Hankins family, including 2 Richards.

Thank you KirstyG  for that information.....I will study the map well...Its terrific that we can see where our ancestors lived.. I did have a local map, but not like that...
The other information, I will get onto ASAP.... As for the Hereford Council Research data, that will be very helpful to me also.....there is so much online now, and I believe it will get better.....so many people doing this now...and I do have other interesting family lines to follow, but first things first.....The Hankins are a challenge to say the least........thanks again...

KirstyG...whether you are a Hankins or not, reading the Hereford Journal is quite entertaining..It gives you a good insight to life in that time..and a good laugh....hope you get the time to have a look...thanks for that, and the map of Hagley and areas.....

KirstyG..I am curious to know what the "lock..unlock" at the bottom of my screen, left side..is...It was not there when I started..have I done something on the computer that I should not have?  and how do I unlock it.. does it stop information either coming or going?.. I know that on Ancestry.com they have this system  when you go into a site that is not online...ie pay...Can you enlighten me..thanks...

Hi Dalek39, I hope you don't mind me saying just incase you don't know and haven't seen but if you have - excuse me, anyway have a look at Archives New Zealand , through Archway and enter 'Hankins' There are loads of documents and I believe many are 'our' Hankins. I looked today, haven't seen this before but there again, I am a bit slow.

[dalek39]

Thanks for that...will do..and I'll get back to you when I have read through it...maybe later, as I have my brother coming today, so will be off air for awhile...Dalek

Dalek39, I think you've done something with the 'locked/unlocked'function because I got the above message first as 'message reply topic Hankins' and then 'locked reply topic Hankins' twice alternating with 'unlocked reply..'twice- 5 times in all. Got all excited thinking there was news.

A thread can be locked by the original poster when a query has been completed, (that is what that button is normally used for) or moderators may lock threads that have got off topic.

FYI I am not related to the Hankins, I've just been following Gladys's posts and helping when I can. I like a good puzzle

I don't know if you have seen these docs in relation to John Herbert Hankins.

Now I see what you mean about his being a prominant member of society, you weren't kidding.

I love the fact that NZ has almost everything online, it makes searching so much easier!
