Andover Down, Banks family, farmers

[Corgidog]

Greetings

Does someone know the history of the Thomas Alexander Banks family at Fox Farm, Andover Down.

    1. I believe Thomas Alexander Banks, b. 1824, lived and farmed there sometime after 1870.

    2. Who were Thomas Alexander Banks and his wife's b. 1825, family?

     3. Did the farm remain in the family? Until when?

Thank you

CDB

Thank you for such complete information. The BANKSES I am searching seem to have matches to what you have presented. However, I expected to find:
     Thomas Alexander Banks b. abt 1859, son of Thomas A Banks.  This Thomas A. Banks was married to Laura Stokes and  lived in Fulham, Middlesex, before moving to Andover area about 1904-6.
      HIS son, Thomas A Banks was born in in Fulham, Middlesex, 1899. Thomas b. 1899 is my husband's father.
      Perhaps I have led myself astray and mistaken Fox Farm for another farm Thomas b.1859 came back to in Andover Down/Longparish.
      I am not aware of what Emma Banks' maiden might have been. I have not heard of 'Lucken".
