Street families of Ringwood

[crigby]

I was just doing a search for a chap called john street after watchin TV a short while ago.  Someone in the new forrest was telling the story about a murder at one of the gatehouses No 15)  John street was either the one killed or the gate keeper for the railway crossing.  I think he was actually the killer of the gate keeper.  It was night time and hee was drunk and wanting to get home in a rush. When the keeper came to the door Street mangled him with a scythe, slicing him diagonally from cheek to pelvis...eeew!   probably a red herring!

Just out of interest, I had a look in the "Ringwood Papers" booklet about the railway and "Crossing Lodge 15" seems to have been the one at Crow if it's of any use.Keepers are given as John Gale in 1851 and William Gates in 1881.

Good afternoon I am very interested in this thread as my maternal grandmother was a Street from Ringwood.

I think she was descended from a John Street (1821-1899) who married an "Ann" and had eight children (George b1844, Charles b1847, Henry b1851, Jane b1855, Alfred b1857, Eliza b1860, William b1863 and Emily b1865).

Henry Street (1851-1920) was my great great grandfather and he married Jane Tarrant and had ten children (Winifred b1871, Henry b1872, Rosaline b1874, Herbert b1877, Frederick b1879, Bessie b1882, Thomas b1883, Edith b1886, Louise b1888 and Ernest b1890)

Frederick Street (1879-1969) was the great grandfather and he married Beatrice Welch and had seven children (Frederick b1899, Lilian b1901, William b1903, Doris b1907, Albert b1913, Verdun b1916 and Gwen b1918)

It would be great to have independent confirmation of these lines.

It would also be great to make contact with other Street descendants.

Thanks in advance!
