Introduction - Explanation
Discovery
I have decided to split the information about this person into two main sections. The first is discovery. Generally the first discovery is from Ancestry Trees and Hints. For the avoidance of repetition, I will not repeat that in the Discovery section for each person. Sometimes the lead maybe from MyHeritage, or other similar genealogy sites. Where that is the case, I will state so. Another lead could be DNA, including Ancestry's ThroughLines, again to be stated.
However, the main point of the discovery section is to create something of a story for the person and his or her life. A brief synopsis, sometimes over and above that created by Ancestry's AI.
Data Sheet
The next part is the Data Sheet. Designed to be the collection of all the records, and information found about the person. It can include records already shown in the Discovery Section, for completeness of the Data Sheet. However, although the template is structured for lots of possible information, I am sure that there will be times when there will be many gaps, which will be left so, just in case more information comes to light at a later time.
Structure
The structure of the family website is multifaceted. It depends of where you come into the site as to how transparent this is. The most simple page is that of a single person. More complicated is a single family, where there is a father and the articles within for associated people such as wife and children. The next level is multi-generation built around a hub, Articles within articles, generation after generation. With time it slowly grows. Each person within the growing mass, has a single focused article with a similar structure. This method, I think, gives structure to the reader, and to me.
This itself is a snippet which is frequently repeated, and not therefore specific.
Transcription of records is generally shown in this colour.
About the Parish of Eling
About the Parish of Eling
This was the location for an introduction to the Parish of Eling. I like to have the context of the place that I am researching. However, that would just be a repetition of the Article Biddlecombe families of Eling
More detail about specific family locations may be found in Work and Locations.
Discovery
Discovery
This is the research hub. A record of the information I have found, or sometimes not found, whist digging around in the past to find out about this family.
It could be called Research and Discovery, but the section mainly only records the discoveries made, hence the name.
The first part is very easy, outlining the seed or inspiration for this article, together with using Ancestry to provide some information about the Surname, Biddlecombe. There is also a brief history of why we are lucky enough to have parish records today to delve into.
The next section is also, relatively easy, where I try to establish the initial parameters for the research. Of course, there will be rabbit holes which will need to be jumped in on the way, but that is only natural. Going down the rabbit whole is part of the frustration, and part of the fun.
The parish registers next, the serious, and very time consuming section.
I do a page turn of the Register images looking for any entries with the surname Biddlecombe or Plaskett, as well as variations of those surnames. This is part of the process of trying to establish Edward and Mary Biddlecomb's family.
By seeing families in the Baptism Register can help eliminate alternative options for residents in Eling, Hampshire, but only those of the Church of England. Dissident registers are held elsewhere.
I start with baptisms, but obliviously this method excludes families without children, but we know Edward and Mary had children because of the Ancestry Family tree, we just need to verify that. It also does not take into account other variables such as change of location.
This has only been one pass so I might have missed a Biddlecombe or Plaskett entry.
Although page turning the registry is slow, time consuming laborious work, it can bring forth revelations not possible by just searching the datasets of the transcriptions. In amongst such records, I found a missing baptism, with from what I could decipher was the surname Biddelcomb. The writing of that had a distinctive shape. When again searching for that shape, I found additional records which had been transcribed, and entered into the dataset, but with different surnames. Looking at the information in isolation, I can fully understand the reasons why the transcription was as it was, but by the shapes, they were possibly, probably the same family.

The Spelling of Surnames
It is commonly accepted that for the printed word, the spelling system became standardised by the end of the seventeenth century. Powerful influences had been the introduction of the printing press (with spelling conventions set by the printers) and the publication of dictionaries. This standardisation was not echoed in the recording of surnames. Famously, Shakespeare had 5 other variants of his name, in his lifetime. Indeed, standardisation did not arrive until the advent of mass literacy in the twentieth century.
In surname studies, there is a complicated relationship between pronunciation, orthography and, presumably, the influence of the standardisation conventions of printed text.
With more names discovered, search for other sources, such as military and criminal records, wills, and newspapers.
The final part is to copy the relevant findings into the Data Sheet.
Seed
The seed for this research and discovery starts with the core data from Hampshire Genealogical Society (HGS), and his entry on my Family Tree in Ancestry
From the investigation into Biddlecombe families of the Parish of Eling, Hampshire, it is established that Edward Biddlecom maried Mary Plaskett. The task here is to try and resolve the family and find other relatives. and where those fit in the tree.
The search of information may be quite wide, with the result, hopefully, that the research could be useful to other people.
The information will be recorded below, and in Ancestry and my TNG database for this family.
This discovery will explore his parents, siblings, and children, as well as himself and his wife.

Why do we have Parish Records.
Why do we have Parish Records
Act for the Keeping of Parish Registers 1538
As family historians we own a debt of gratitude to Thomas Cromwell, Lord Privy Seal to Henry VIII and Chief Secretary to the King, for the creation of this act in Henry VIII's 29th year of reign. Without it and the subsequent similar act from Queen Elizabeth in 1558, we would not have such extensive records to assist us in our hobbies or professions.
A good précis of the history is found at Family Search, 'History of Parish Registers in England', reproduced in part below.
Medieval - In medieval times there were no parish registers. For some years before the Reformation, monastic houses (especially the smaller ones) the parish priest had been developing the custom of noting in an album or on the margins of the service books, the births and deaths of the leading local families.
1538 - Through the efforts of Thomas Cromwell a mandate was issued by Henry VIII to keep parish registers. This order that every parson, vicar or curate was to enter in a book every wedding, christening and burial in his parish. The parish was to provide a sure coffer with two locks, the parson having the custody of one key, the wardens the others. The entries were to be made each Sunday after the service in the presence of one of the wardens. The mandate was enforced under a penalty of 3 sols, 4 deniers for the repair' of the church. These entries were made on paper, sometimes upon loose sheets. The bishop in their visitations were to see that the names of sponsors were duly entered in the registers of baptism. The parishioners penalty was divided between the poor box and repairs for the church.
1558 - Queen Elizabeth passed another law that was a duplicate of her father's . Many more registers began at this date. Many of these very early records are hard to read plus being written in Latin and are often very sparse - giving only the fathers name at a Christening and only the persons name in a burial entry. The registers were the property of the incumbent minister and each parish was required to maintain a chest in the parish church for the safe keeping of the same. In time other records were kept in the chest such as poor law records, which were actually the civil parish records. Other records kept in the chest were removal orders, bastardy bonds, overseers of the poor accounts, Tithe award and Maps, Enclosure Awards and Maps, Church Wardens Accounts, etc.
1597 - Registers were to be made of parchment instead of paper, and annual reports of all parish register entries were required to be sent to the appropriate bishop, called Church of England Parish Registers (BT). No doubt the reason we have gaps in some of the early parish registers or they do not exist at all, is that the paper had disintegrated and were not available. In some areas earlier registers were destroyed at this time and some were recopied on parchment.
Some ministers made copies for the Bishop as entries were made in the register, some waited until the end of the year to make these copies. Some entries could have been missed. Most often the original parish entry is more complete.
1598 - The entries that were made on paper, sometimes upon loose sheets, and sixty years later these registers were ordered to be copied upon parchment in books, so that the registers which still survive dating back to 1538-1539 (perhaps about 1400 to 1500 in number). Therefore, any parish which survived this date are rarely the original entries. Some of the earliest paper registers had disappeared even before the transcription was ordered.
1731: 4 George 2 c.26: Proceedings in Courts of Justice Act
1731: 4 George 2 c.26: An act that all proceedings in courts of justice within that part of Great Britain called England, and in the court of exchequer in Scotland, shall be in the English language.
[This extended to Wales by 6 Geo. 2. c.14.]
[After 25 March 1733, all proceedings in courts in England, or exchequer in Scotland, to be in English, and in words at length. 6 Geo. 2. c. 6.]
That from and after the twenty-fifth day of March one thousand seven hundred and thirty-three, all writs, process and returns thereof, and proceedings thereon, and all pleadings, rules, orders, indictments, informations, inquisitions, preferments, verdicts, prohibitions, certificates, and all patents, charters, pardons, commissions, records, judgments, statutes, recognizances, bonds, rolls, entries, fines and recoveries, and all proceedings relating thereunto, and all proceedings of courts leet, courts baron and customary courts, and all copies thereof, and all proceedings whatsoever in any courts of justice within that part of Great Britain called England, and in the court of exchequer in Scotland, and which concern the law and administration of justice, shall be in the English tongue and language only, and not in Latin or French, or any other tongue or language whatsoever, and shall be written in such a common legible hand and character, as the acts of parliament are usually ingrossed in, and the lines and words of the same to be written at least as close as the said acts usually are, and not in any hand commonly called court hand, and in words at length and not abbreviated; any law, custom or usage heretofore to the contrary thereof notwithstanding:
This Act is referred to in S.C. Wilks notes the Nursling Register, but may be incorrectly referenced.
However, English was used in the Parish Registers form this date.
1752 - The Gregorian Calendar was adopted and the first day of the year was changed from March 25th (Ladyday) to January 1st. Up to 1752 use double dating between Jan.1st to Mar. 25th.
1753: 26 George 2 c.33: An Act for the Better Preventing of Clandestine Marriage.
Whereas great Mischiefs and Inconveniencies have arisen from Clandestine Marriages; for preventing thereof for the future, Be it enabled by the King’s most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the Authority of the same, That from and after the twenty-fifth Day of March in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and fifty-four, all Banns of Matrimony shall be published in an audible manner in the Parish Church, or in some publick Chapel, in which publick Chapel Banns of Matrimony have been usually published, of or belonging to such Parish or Chapelry wherein the Persons to be married shall dwell, according to the Form of Words prescribed by the Rubrick prefixed to the Office of Matrimony in the Book of Common Prayer, upon three Sundays preceding the Solemnization of Marriage, during the Time of Morning Service, or of Evening Service (if there be no Morning Service in such Church or Chapel upon any of those Sundays) immediately after the second Lesson: And whensoever it shall happen that the Persons to be married shall dwell in divers Parishes or Chapelries, the Banns shall in like manner be published in the Church or Chapel belonging to such Parish or Chapelry wherein each of the said Persons shall dwell; and where both or either of the Persons to be married shall dwell in any extraparochial Place, (having no Church or Chapel wherein Banns have been usually published) then the Banns shall in like manner be published in the Parish Church or Chapel belonging to some Parish or Chapelry adjoining to such Extraparochial Place: And where Banns shall be published in any Church or Chapel belonging to any Parish adjoining to such Extraparochial Place, the Parson, Vicar, Minister Curate, publishing such Banns shall, in Writing under his Hand, certify the Publication thereof in such manner as if either of the Persons to be married dwelt in such adjoining Parish; and that all other the Rules prescribed by the said Rubrick concerning the Publication of Banns, and the Solemnization of Matrimony, and not hereby altered, shall be duly observed; and that in all Cases where Banns shall have been published, the Marriage shall be solemnized in one of the Parish Churches or Chapels where such Banns have been published, and in no other Place whatsoever.
...
XIV. And for preventing undue Entries and Abuses in Registers of Marriages; Be it enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That on or before the twenty-fifth Day of March in the Year one-thousand seven hundred and fifty-four, and from Time to Time afterwards as there shall be Occasion, the Church-wardens and Chapel-wardens of every Parish or Chapelry shall provide proper Books of Vellum, or good and durable Paper in which all Marriages and Banns of Marriage respectively, there published or solemnized, shall be registered, and every Page thereof shall be marked at the Top, with the Figure of the Number of every such Page, beginning at the second Leaf with Number-one; and every Leaf or Page so numbered, shall be ruled with Lines at proper and equal Distances from each other, or as near as may be; and all Banns and Marriages published or celebrated in any Church or Chapel, or within any such Parish or Chapelry, shall be respectively entered, registered, printed, or written upon or as near as conveniently may be to such ruled Line , and shall be signed by the Parson, Vicar, Minister or Curate, or by some other Person in his Presence and by his Direction; and such Entries shall be made as aforesaid, on or near such Lines in successive Order, where the Paper is not damaged or decayed, by Accident or Length of Time, until a new Book shall be thought proper or necessary to be provided for the same Purposes, and then the Directions aforesaid shall be observed in every such new Book; and all Books provided as aforesaid shall be deemed to belong to every such Parish or Chapel respectively, and shall be carefully kept and preserved for publick Use.
...
XV. And in order to preserve the Evidence of Marriages, and to make the Proof thereof more certain and easy, and for the Direction of Ministers in the Celebration of Marriages and registering thereof, Be it enacted, That from and after the twenty-fifth Day of March in the Year one thousand seven hundred and fifty-four, all Marriages shall be solemnized in the Presence of two or more credible Witnesses, besides the Minister who shall celebrate the same; and that immediately after the Celebration of every Marriage, an Entry thereof shall he made in such Register to be kept as aforesaid ; in which Entry or Register it shall be expressed, That the said Marriage was celebrated by Banns or Licence; and if both or either of the Parties married by Licence, be under Age, with Consent of the Parents or Guardians, as the Case shall be and shall be signed by the Minister with his proper Addition, and also by the Parties married, and attested by such two Witnesses; which Entry shall be made in the Form or to the Effect following; that is to say

This Marriage was solemnized between us A.B. C.D. in the Presence of E.F. G.H.
...
etc.
Without these Acts, there would be little to no records upon which to base our research and discovery.
Discovery
Research and discovery starts with trying to establish the parameters for the research.
Extent of Biddlecombe Surname, and variations.
This is part of the process of trying to establish if there are other Biddlecombe families in the area, which could confuse matters, and their distribution. By seeing families in the Baptism Register can help eliminate alternative options for residents in Hampshire, of the Church of England. Obliviously this method excludes families without children. It also does not take into account other variables such as change of location. It is just indicative, but helpful.

Baptism
Nursling 1617 to 1735
Baptisms in the Nursling Parish Register 1617 to 1735
The first interest in this registry is looking for the Baptism of William Mabey or variations of that spelling. The reason for reviewing these particular years is the Burial record of a William Mayby.
Burials, 1795
April 14 William Mayby aged 63 years
Form his stated age at burial it would suggest a birth of around 1732.
The range of search shown below is 1730 to 1735. Remember that until 1752 the beginning of the New Year was 25 March (Lady Day, the Feast of the Annunciation). This is evident in the pages below.
As far as I can see there are only four boys baptised William in the Parish of Nursling between the years 1730 to 1735 inclusive. None of them to a Mabey of similar family.
The search will have to be widened.
Nursling 1736 to 1797
Baptisms in the Nursling Parish Register 1736 to 1797
Baptised at Nursling Parish Church, St Boniface.
Looking in the relevant Parish Registers first, starting with Nursling, Hampshire.
I did a page turn of the Register images looking for any entries with the surname Mabey, aided by the HGS Baptism Index shown above.
Looking through other registers there are a lot of babies privately baptised because they are weak or sick who are taken into the "Congregation of Xt's Flock", "Congregation of Christ's Flock", or "buried on", all in the same entry.
There are a number of recognisable family names within the early pages, which may or may not be related, but it is not until 17?? that I came across the Baptism of a Mabey.
Before listing the finds in the Mabey family, lets look at the Long family.
This is to establish a presence of the Long family in the parish of Nursling, which may help explain the addition of a Mabey family to Nursling parish. Where did William Mabey move from when he married Ann Long in St Boniface Church in Nursling?
Mary, Daughter of Nathaniel & Rebeccah Long
10. Mary, Daughr. of Nathaniel & Rebeccah Long.
July 10, 1740 Mary, Daughter of Nathaniel & Rebeccah Long.
This register only started in 1736 and this is page 3, with the page numbers added later in pencil by S. C. Wilks.
Note two other sad entries on this page, '... privately baptised & both soon after died' and '... privately baptised and died after some few days.' Checks in burials may possibly include the mother. Child birth was a particularly difficult and hazardous event in these times.
Ann, Daughter of Nathaniel & Rebeccah Long
Oct: 9. Ann, Daughr. of Nathaniel & Rebeccah Long.
Oct: 9, 1741. Ann, Daughter of Nathaniel & Rebeccah Long.
Potentially, this Ann Long is the mother of John Mabey. Look to marriages section to find William Mabey married to Ann Long.
Susan, Daughter, of Nathaniel, & Rebeccah Long
Apr 22 Susan, Daughr, of Nathaniel, & Rebeccah Long P.ly
Willm Kelsey admitted into ye Congregation May 14, & Susan Long the 25th
Apr 22 1744 Susan, Daughter, of Nathaniel, & Rebeccah Long Baptised Privately. William Kelsey admitted into the Congregation May 14, & Susan Long the May 25th
Again, not a Mabey for this baptism record. However, it is another Long, the significance of which will hopefully become apparent later. Also it is an example of Baptised Privately and subsequently admitted into the Congregation / Church.
Nathan, Richard, & Phebe Sons and Daughter of Nathan & Rebecca Long
July 20 Nathan Richard & Phebe Sons and Daughter of Nathan & Rebecca Long
July 20 1749 Nathan, Richard, & Phebe Sons and Daughter of Nathan & Rebecca Long
A job lot? Susan Long, above, was Baptised on Apr 22 1744, approximately 5 years before this Baptism. Which is sufficient time for 3 separate pregnancies giving rise to 3 children being baptised at the same time. It could be triplets, or twins and a single, but the is sufficient time interval for it to be three individual births between 1745 and 1749.
John Son of Nathan & Rebecca Long
Jan 28 John S. of Nathan & Rebecca Long
Jan 28 1758 John Son of Nathan & Rebecca Long
On this page there is also the baptism of Catharine, daughter of Edmund and Martha Morris, the Rector of this parish, and his wife.
| Baptism date | Child name | S/D | Parents |
|---|---|---|---|
| July 10, 1740 | Mary Long | D | Nathaniel & Rebeccah Long. |
| Oct: 9, 1741 | Ann Long | D | Nathaniel & Rebeccah Long. |
| Apr 22, 1744 | Susan Long | D | Nathaniel, & Rebeccah Long |
| July 20, 1749 | Nathan Long | S | Nathan & Rebecca Long |
| July 20, 1749 | Richard Long | S | Nathan & Rebecca Long |
| July 20, 1749 | Phebe Long | D | Nathan & Rebecca Long |
| Jan 28 1758 | John Long | S | Nathan & Rebecca Long |
Seven children in 18 years, is not implausible, nor is the gaps between them, albeit three baptised at the same time. I have given those three estimated years of birth between 1745 and 1749. However, is this one family or two. Parents are Nathaniel, & Rebeccah Long until 1744 and then at the next baptism, in 1749, they are Nathan & Rebecca Long. Very similar names, but are the people one in the same? On the basis of probability, I will go with the thought that it is all one family, but I accept that is not definitive.
I think there is sufficient evidence to confirm that there is an established presence of a Long family in the Parish of Nursling.
Now on to the Mabey surname.
Martha Daughter of William & Mary Maby
Aug 1 Martha D of Willm & Mary Maby
Aug 1, 1761 Martha Daughter of William & Mary Maby
Maby is not Mabey but is similar.
William Mabey and Ann Long were married at St Boniface Church, Nursling, Hampshire on 29 October 1760. So 1st August 1761 is a respectable date of first born after marriage.
However, who is Mary? William married Ann, not Mary. Is Mary an alternative name for Ann, such as Mary Ann, or Ann Mary. Not according to the baptism record.
Susan Daughter of William & Anne Maby
May 4 Susan. D. of Willm & Anne Maby
May 4, 1764 Susan Daughter of William & Anne Maby
Again, Maby is not Mabey but is similar.
At least the parents are the expected William and Ann.
1768
Ann Daughter of James Penny
Ann the Daughter of James Penny was baptised February vii - 7th Feb 1768, was baptised at St Boniface Church Nursling.
1768
Joseph Son of William & Anne Mabey
Sep 12 Joseph. S, of Willm. & Anne Mabey
Sep 12, 1768, Joseph Son of William & Anne Mabey.
1771
John Son of William & Anne Mabey
Jan 17 Jno S of William & Anne Mabey
Jan 17, 1771 John Son of William & Anne Mabey
1773
Richard Son of William & Anne Mabey
h
May 31 Richd S. of Wm & Anne Mabey
May 31, 1773 Richard Son of William & Anne Mabey
1775
John, Son of John & Sarah Penny
I have copied both pages of the register for 1775 here, looking for John Penny. For the whole year of 1775 there are only two baptisms with male names beginning with J,
June 6 Jno S. of James & Eliz. Gateril
June 18th John, Son of John & Sarah Penny
The next record is Milly, shown below
1775
Milly Daughter of William & Ann Mabey
Aug 30 Milly, D. of Willm & Ann Mabey
Aug 30, 1775 Milly Daughter of William & Ann Mabey
1778
Mary Daughter of William and Ann Mabey
Feb 15 Mary Daughter of William and Ann Mabey
Feb 15, 1778 Mary Daughter of William and Ann Mabey
1780
Susan Daughter of William & Ann Mabey
Sep 17 Susan, D. of William & Ann Mabey
Sep 17, 1780 Susan Daughter of William & Ann Mabey
Second use of the name Susan in this family, which implies the first Susan died before this year.
1782
Elizabeth Daughter of William & Anne Maybe
Novr 17. Elizabeth Daughter of William & Anne Maybe
Nov 17, 1782 Elizabeth Daughter of William & Anne Maybe
Note surname written as Maybe not Mabey. Assumed to be the same family.
Another copy within the same Register, fortunately with the same information.
Charlotte Mabey
The above is a extract from the Maybee Society regarding Charlotte Mabey b. 1781.
However, so far, I have not found any primary data in respect of Charlotte.
The above is the page for the Parish of Nursling Register in the Baptised section, for 1781. There is no entry for a Charlotte on this page.
The Hampshire Genealogical Society (HGS) Baptism Index 1752 -1812 did not reveal any potential matches, across Hampshire.
The last entry for Baptisms in this section of the Registry is page 36 for the year 1787. No Mabey family found from Elizabeth in 1782 to 1787.
1797
George Son of John & Mary Maybey
April 23 George S. of John & Mary Maybey
Apr 23, 1797 George Son of John & Mary Maybey
| Baptism date | Child name | S/D | Parents |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 1, 1761 | Martha Maby | D | William & Mary Maby |
| Abt. 1762 | William Mabey | S | |
| Abt. 1781 | Charlotte Mabey | D | |
| Apr 23, 1797 | George Maybey | S | John & Mary Maybey |
The three people above are thought to be part of the family according to other Ancestry trees, however, they are not yet proved from the baptism records found so far. The fourth is possibly a grandchild.
| Baptism date | Child name | S/D | Parents |
|---|---|---|---|
| May 4, 1764 | Susan Maby | D | William & Anne Maby |
| Sep 12, 1768 | Joseph Mabey | S | William & Anne Mabey |
| Jan 17 1771 | John Mabey | S | William & Anne Mabey |
| May 31, 1773 | Richard Mabey | S | William & Anne Mabey |
| Aug 30, 1775 | Milly Mabey | D | William & Ann Mabey |
| Feb 15, 1778 | Mary Mabey | D | William and Ann Mabey |
| Sep 17, 1780 | Susan Mabey | D | William & Ann Mabey |
| Nov 17, 1782 | Elizabeth Maybe | D | William & Anne Maybe |
Eight children in 18 years, is not implausible. Even eleven, adding the uncertain children, is still plausible both in terms of elapsed date and separation of dates.

Baptisms in the Nursling Parish Register 1798 to 1812
Baptised at Nursling Parish Church, St Boniface.

Eling 1672 to 1749
Baptisms in the Eling Parish Register 1672 to 1749
Baptised at Eling Parish Church, St Mary the Virgin, aka St Mary's Church.
Following a similar search in the Nursling Parish Register, without result, it is time to turn attention to the Parish of Eling, Hampshire. General searches of numerous datasets of Parish Records and Bishop's Transcripts have not reveled suitable matches. This could be because of errors in transcription, the variable nature of spelling at the time, or the state of the records, missing or difficult to render a reliable transcription.
The reason for looking in Eling next is some information about his father from Rodney Whale.
Notes: William MABY-245
General: This spelling was as baptised.
Was living in Botley, Hants and moved to Eling. He was examined by the Overseers of the Poor and because he had no settlement certificate he was returned to Botley. However a year later he returned to Eling bearing the certificate and was allowed to settle.
His origins are obscure but he was almost certainly from Dorset. He appears in Swanage for a short while, where his first child was baptised in 1726 and his first wife was buried there in 1731. There is a marriage of a Bernard Mabey in Swanage around this time and he may have been William's brother particularly as William named a son as Bernard.
This information was added to in September 2010 by virtue of his baptism being discovered.
The settlement certificate for Botley is dated 19091738 and one of the Overseers of the poor was Jacob Emery, an ancestor of Beryl Whale nee Sharp.
The Removal Order mentioned was dated 03021737.
The first interest in this Eling registry is looking for the Baptism of William Mabey or variations of that spelling. The reason for reviewing these particular years is the Burial record of a William Mayby.
Burials, 1795
April 14 William Mayby aged 63 years
Form his stated age at burial it would suggest a birth of around 1732.
The range of search shown below is 1730 to 1735. Remember that until 1752 the beginning of the New Year was 25 March (Lady Day, the Feast of the Annunciation). This is evident in the pages below.
1730
Following the location of three relevant baptisms, I am reviewing these images again looking for the shape of the surname.
The last line but one reveals:-
Sarah the daughter of George Meabyee was Baptised September iv. Baptised 4th September 1730 in St. Mary the Virgin Church, Eling.
However, an alternative direction of travel is a Marriage Certificate for a Sarah Meatyar.
Not here, but on my work in progress tree, I have added George Meabyee, annotated hypothesis, as a brother of William Mabey, b. 1705, the father of William Mabey b. 1734, the person whose Baptism record we are searching for.
I have split the page into three parts to ensure that the writing is large enough for you to be able to read it, and find something that I have missed. There will therefore be some duplication at the joints.
You can see that there are a lot more baptisms in a year than in Nursling, as to be expected, Eling is larger both by area and population.
As you can see, the page gets very difficult to read towards the bottom. I can fully understand why this was not transcribed, as that would produce unreliable data.
However, I believe I can make out enough to search for a name of William for the baptised person, and an M for the beginning of the father's surname.
Fortunately, Ancestry, as well as some other sites, has the ability to invert the colours of the image, in the tools section. Sometimes this can make the image more legible. Not always sufficient to transcribe though, and I doubt the original transcribers had this technique available to them.
1731
Below, the sixth record from the top reveals:-
Andrew the Son of Joseph Meabyee was Baptised April vii. Baptised 7th April 1731 in St. Mary the Virgin Church, Eling.
However, an alternative direction of travel is a Marriage Certificate for a Sarah Meatyar, but no similar alternative for Andrew.
Not here, but on my work in progress tree, I have added Joseph Meabyee, annotated hypothesis, as a brother of William Mabey, b. 1705, the father of William Mabey b. 1734, the person whose Baptism record we are searching for.
1732
Another possible, four records down from the top of the last section; Christian the daughter of George M???? was baptised July xxvi. July 26th 1732 baptised at St Mary the Virgin Church, Eling. An unusual name for a daughter. Not transcribed in Ancestry.
Yellow dots, instead of a light wash to highlight, so as to not obscure the writing on the Registry page. Ann the daughter of William Meabee Baptised January vi. Baptised 6th January 1732 in St. Mary the Virgin Church, Eling.
1733
1734
William the Son of William Maebee was Bapt. March xxxi. Baptised 31st March 1734 in St. Mary the Virgin Church, Eling.
The blue dot is just to highlight the use of a capital M, in a word recognisable as Mary, for comparison with Maebee, which is much less certain.
1735
Mary the daughter of William Maebee was Baptised March viii. Baptised 8th March 1735 in St. Mary the Virgin Church, Eling.
1736 Part only
Bernard the Son of William Meabe was Baptised March i. Baptised on 1st March 1736 at St Mary the Virgin Church, Eling, Hampshire.
1738
Ann the Daughter of Robert & Ann Eldridge
Ann the Daughter of Robert & Ann Eldridge was baptised October xxxi - 31st October 1738, baptised at St Mary the Virgin Church, Eling, Hampshire.
The baptism record above Ann, is also interesting, Robert Brown of about 17 Years of Age (his Parents being Quakers) was bap: Oct. xxi. Further confirms that older children may have their age shown, and sometimes annotated with a reason for late baptism.
Eling 1750 to 1798
Baptisms in the Eling Parish Register 1750 to 1798
Baptised at Eling Parish Church, St Mary the Virgin, aka St Mary's Church.
A reminder that until 1752 the beginning of the New Year was 25 March (Lady Day, the Feast of the Annunciation). This is evident in the pages below.
1750
Thomas the Son of John & Elizabeth Penny
Thomas the Son of John & Elizabeth Penny was baptised July xiii - 13th July 1750, baptised at St Mary the Virgin Church, Eling, Hampshire.
Not particularly relevant, just the same surname.
However, it does provide some evidence of Penny family or families in the Parish of Eling, at least from 1750.
1759
Ann Daughter of William and Mary Eldridge
Ann Daughter of William and Mary Eldridge was baptized July xv - 15th July 1759, baptised at St Mary the Virgin Church, Eling, Hampshire.
List of Rectors & Vicars
A spectacular find. Click on image to go to source.
This list is so helpful. In the past I would look through the Parish Register for information to create a list, or go to some of the sources at the top of the image. This is so much easier, just look the parish up, and there is the list. I recognise some of the names from the Marriage Certificates.
Why have I put this here? Well some of the Ancestry Trees have some of the Penny family being born at The Vicarage, Eling Hill, Eling, Hampshire. Which is the correct address for the vicarage of St Mary's, aka St Mary the Virgin Church.
It does not appear that the Penny family are the rector or vicar of the parish, but that does not make the information incorrect. They could be part of the domestic or gardening / farming team.
1772
George the Son of William & Ann Penny
George the Son of William & Ann Penny was baptised May vi. - 6th May 1772 baptised at St Mary the Virgin Church, Eling.
A Penny family found in Eling, just not the one looked for.
1776
Joseph & Mary Son & Daughter of James & Ann Peny
Joseph & Mary Son & Daughter of James & Ann Peny was baptised Novr iii - 3rd November 1776 baptised at St Mary the Virgin Church, Eling.
I believe Mary is the person I was looking for. She becomes John Mabey's wife.
I think Peny and Penny are the same families.

Marriage
Before we get into the registers ...
Marriage, a snippet of information
In 1780, the minimum legal age for marriage was 12 years for women and 14 years for men. It was also possible for the couple to get engaged at the age of 7, with the right to break off the engagement on reaching the minimum age of consent. However, early marriages were rather rare, and the average age of the newlyweds was about 25 years.

The Bride is from the Parish of Eling, so unsurprisingly, the marriage took place in Eling.
The first entry on this page, no. 408, is copied here just because John Mebey signed as a witness. The signature looks to be the same for his own wedding, so perhaps it has no other significance than he was presence for both weddings, on the third of March and could write.

Burial
The Burying in Woollen Acts
I would note that within some Parish Registers, burials started to be annotated with the affidavit about being buried in wool. Below is an example of same, but for a different parish. There are similar annotations in this parish during the appropriate dates.
The Register of the Parish of the Church of Thorncombe.
One example of many.
The first, well actually the second page of the register is headed;
A Register of those that have been buried in Woollen according to ?? ??? Act of Parliament Thorncombe 1680.
The primary thing to note here is that the book is indeed in relation to Thorncombe and that there is no reference to it being any other form of church, so presumably the Established Church.
The other thing of particular interest was the 'buried in Woollen according to Act of Parliament.' I had not come across this before so had to look it up. Wikipedia quickly provided an answer.
The Burying in Woollen Acts 1666–80 w
ere Acts of the Parliament of England (Cha. II c. 4 (1666), Cha. II c. 3 (1678) and Cha. II c. 1 (1680) ) which required the dead, except plague victims and the destitute, to be buried in pure English woollen shrouds to the exclusion of any foreign textiles.
Enforcement
It was a requirement that an affidavit be sworn in front of a Justice of the Peace (usually by a relative of the deceased), confirming burial in wool, with the punishment of a £5 fee for noncompliance. Burial entries in parish registers were marked with the word "affidavit" or its equivalent to confirm that affidavit had been sworn; it would be marked "naked" for those too poor to afford the woollen shroud.
The legislation was in force until 1814, but was generally ignored after 1770. The 1666 Act was repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 1863.
The next interesting title page was at the beginning of the baptisms. It was a very smudged copy so I have tried to clean it up a little, without losing any of the original writing, however it is still difficult to decipher in the whole.
However, again it confirms that the book pertains to Thorncombe and seems to commence in 1663.
'A time to be born and a time to die' is one of the lines on the page.
It is difficult to make things out on the page, but it is nearly 4 centuries old. The Mayflower sailed to America in 1620 and the monarchy had been restored in 1660 with Charles II on the throne.
Turning to the next page of the scan, there are baptisms records, in Latin commencing in 15?? followed by 1552.

I have tried to play join the dots on the above map. Not entirely successfully as they are very good at hiding in the details of the map. However, even if approximate, it is easier to see the general extent of the parishes, from left to right, across the bottom of Southampton, St Michael or St Michael's, St John, and Holyrood. Boundary, at the time of the drawing of the map, marked in a blue line.

Charles Penny is two years younger than his wife Charlotte Penny. He was born in Somerset and is a cordwainer.
A cordwainer is a shoemaker who makes new shoes from new leather. The cordwainer's trade can be contrasted with the cobbler's trade, according to a tradition in Britain that restricted cobblers to repairing shoes.

1861 Census Sunday 7th April 1861
Description of Enumeration District, St Michaels Southampton
All that remaining part of the Parish of St Michael, Southampton comprising Coocke Lane, Westgate Street, Westgate Terrace, Auspack Place, West Quay, Blue Anchor Lane, Lock's Court, both sides of Simnel Street, Hunts Court, Pepper Alley and Courts, Dean's Court, Castle Court, Spearings Court, Silk Shop Yard, Landsdown Place, Castle Lane, Chesterfield Terrace and Court adjoining.
This enumerator, John Fletcher, has been very helpful and left a sketch map of the area he was to cover.
However, I have not yet been able to make out Cooke Lane.
The order given in the notes is not the same as the records, which presumably represent the walking route used by the enumerator.
Starting with Castle Lane.
Then;-
- Landsdown Place
- Castle Lane
- West Quay Tower
- Castle Lane
- Castle Court
- Castle Square
- Chesterfield Terrace
- Simnel Street
- Hunts Court
- Dean's Court
- Simnel Street, Queen Charlotte Inn.
- Simnel Street
- Silk Shop Yard
- Simnel Street
- Taylor's Court
- Simnell Street
- Locks Court
- West Quay
- West Gate House
- West Quay
- Collliers Court
- West Quay
- Blue Anchor Court
- Blue Anchor Lane
- Pepper Alley
- Whites Court
- Pepper Alley
- West Gate Tower
- West Gate Street
- Whites Court
- West Gate Street
- Royal Pier Toll House
- Coocks Lane
Then, perhaps, back to;-
- Simnel Street
- Pepper Alley
- Castle Court
Ending at Simnel Street.
From the above I would expect to find Coocks or Coocke Lane at the South, near the Royal Pier.
From the foregoing and the NLS Old OS Map 25" I assume that Coocks or Coocke Lane is Cuckoo Lane, which is near the Royal Pier at its southern end.
The 1851 Census address was 13a French Street. I have shaded French Street a light blue wash in the above map. I think 13a was about the same extent north as Westgate Street. About 3 minutes walk between French Street and the middle of Cuckoo Lane.
An 1846 OS map found on the City of Southampton's website. With Cuckoo Lane pinpointed.

Compare with previous Census
There are more 'FALSE' in the compare section than I would normally like.
Charlotte Penny is now six years older than Charles Penny whereas previously it was two years between them.
Harry aged 5 has become Henry aged 17, expected to be 15.
Thomas aged 2 has lost a year, now aged 11, expected to be 12. However, this is an acceptable variation, as is the abbreviation of Thomas to Thos.
Mary Ann, aged 6 months, does not appear here. Perhaps she has died.
Charlotte Penny recorded a place of birth change from Hampshire to Southampton. However, this is just a change in the level of detail.
Occupation from cordwainer the shoemaker is just a change of term for the same thing.
On balance of probability, I think they are the same family, despite the differences from one census, to the next, ten years later.
There is a possibility that Charlotte Penny form 1815 died after having Harry, and Charles Penny re-married, to another Charlotte, on 3 Dec 1849. Some 3 to 5 years after Harry/Henry estimated birth year.
Not Charles Penny but John Penny

Another Penny family, but this time in lodgings with a number of other families. As they are all listed as lodgers, it is not possible to definitively state the relationship within the family, but I assume it is John Penny, aged 40, with his wife Mary, aged 29, together with their two children, a girl and a boy, Mary 9, and John 4. John Penny is about the same age as Charles Penny, and is also a shoemaker.

One of only two weddings at that church, that year.

Ann Penny
Burials in the Parish of West Knoyle, Wiltshire - Ann Penny Abode, West Knoyle was buried Sepr 14th [1819] aged 81
Given the Baptism date, shown above in this section, of 31st October 1738 and the burial date of 14th September 1819, the duration between those dates is 80 years, 10 months, 14 days excluding the end date, which in the absence of Birth and Death dates, is therefore assumed to be close to an age calculation. About 11/2 months shy of the 81 years shown above. That, in my opinion, is close enough, not to create a red flag.
However, West Knoyle is a long way from Eling. In fact it is about 40 miles, which would be about 41/2 hours walking, from Eling Hill, where the vicarage is. The challenge therefore is to find out why she was there. Are her family still there in the 1841 census, for instance?

Scroll left or right along the tabs. There is a tab for each year of child bearing age following their marriage, which helps to indicate years when no children of William and Mary were born, or survived long enough to be baptised, or alternatively, where no record has yet been found. They had 11 children in 21 years.

Martha Daughter of William & Mary Maby
Aug 1 Martha D of Willm & Mary Maby
Aug 1, 1761 Martha Daughter of William & Mary Maby
Maby is not Mabey but is similar.
William Mabey and Ann Long were married at St Boniface Church, Nursling, Hampshire on 29 October 1760. So 1st August 1761 is a respectable date of first born after marriage.
However, who is Mary? William married Ann, not Mary. Is Mary an alternative name for Ann, such as Mary Ann, or Ann Mary. Not according to the baptism record.
The record remains not validated.

Nice marriage details, including Banns, but there is something on a glaring problem here. The bride's name is Sarah Maybey, and it is not the spelling of the surname. On Ancestry, Sarah appears to be associated with Martha as one in the same person. However, I have yet to find definitive evidence as to why this association has been made, let alone that it is correct.
The record remains not validated.
I have started to build the tree branches under this couple in the hope of finding more information, including DNA traces which may prove the link. It may be a case that there are too many generations between any tester and the couple.

Rockbourne
Parish of Rockbourne Hampshire
Rochesburna (xi cent.); Rechesburna, Rochesburna (xii cent.); Rokeburn (xiii cent.); Rogborne (xvii cent.). Rockbourne contains about 3,923½ acres, of which 2,029 acres are arable land, 1,039½ acres permanent grass and 302¼ acres woods and plantations. (fn. 1) Rockbourne Down, in the north-west of the parish, and Knoll Down, which extends over the borders of Damerham, are in some places over 300 ft. high. The lowest part of the parish is along the banks of the little stream known as Sweatfords Water, which rises in Rockbourne Down and flows straight through the village by the side of the main street. The soil is sand, clay, gravel and chalk on a subsoil of chalk.
NLS OS 1" Hills Old Map Rockbourne Hampshire
I have added annotation to the map regarding the towns of Salisbury, Winchester, and Southampton, to aid visual location finding.
Rockbourne is approximately three miles NNW of Fordingbridge in the New Forest.

It appears that there was a Monastery at Rockbourne at one time. The rectory seems to be as big as the St. Andrew's Church, so presumably there was a good living to be had by the Rector in this very rural community.
Sweatfords Water flows through Rockbourne village, broadly in line with the main road. It is a tributary of the River Avon, which it joins at Fordingbridge.
A little South of Rockbourne village lies West Park country house. Unfortunately, the house was demolished in 1948 following damage sustained during WWII. Further information about the estate can be seen on Hampshire County Council site. According to British History Online, West Park was the property of Sir Eyre Coote. The park extends into South Damerham parish.
The village consists chiefly of one street almost half a mile long. The church is in the north-east of the main street Close to the church, adjoining the north side of the churchyard, is a very interesting group of buildings, consisting of a small L-shaped 14th-century house, now used as part of a modern farm-house, the remains of a large Elizabethan or Jacobean house a short distance to the east, a 13th-century chapel near its south-east angle, and a large 15th-century barn running northward from the chapel. The barn has two large waggon-porches, and at the north end has been divided into two stories for use as living rooms; the chapel is now used as a barn, and its most interesting feature is a north doorway with a cinquefoiled head. The buildings are doubtless manorial, the story of the existence of a leper hospital on the site being quite unfounded.
There is evidence of Roman occupation in the area, and Rockbourne was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.

Eling overview
Eling Overview
Eling Hampshire
Eling a small village and town, as well as a large parish on the banks of the River Test opposite Southampton, and adjacent to the New Forest, in the county of Hampshire, sometimes known as Southamptonshire, or County of Southampton.
Bronze Age 1500BC
A Bronze Age Settlement to the North of the Town was discovered when the Testwood Lakes were excavated. A jetty, bridge and dagger were all found dating from that period.
The town has a history back to before Bronze Age times. It is thought the name Eling probably derives from Edlas’s people, or Edlingas as it appeared in the Domesday Book.
Domesday Book 1066-1086
Eling was a settlement in Domesday Book, in the hundred of Redbridge and the county of Hampshire.
It had a recorded population of 69 households in 1086, putting it in the largest 20% of settlements recorded in Domesday.

Same map but in more detail
The same map but zoomed in and split into four parts for ease of use.
There is a vertical overlap on each segment to try to avoid the difficulty of interpreting the information, reading at the joints.
At one time this was done with mouse rollover, but that no longer consistently works on all browsers, so back to static.
The above map is an extract of the The Phillimore Atlas and Index of Parish Registers for Hampshire. Of particular interest, the Parishes of Eling - 1537, Southampton, Hound 1660, and South Stonham 1663.
Southampton contains the following parishes;
- All Saints - 1650
- Holy Rood - 1653
- SS, Lawrence and John, sometimes written as St Lawrence and St John - 1754
- St Mary - 1675
- St Mary Extra - 1671 (Other side of the River Itchen)
- St Michael - 1552
- Southampton Common, marked as M, extra-parochial.
The dates are not when the parishes were formed but as it states by the County Title, the dates of the commencement of Registers of Parishes formed before 1832.
I think that may be expanded to dates of registers still in existence.
Old Hampshire Maps
The website for Old Hampshire Maps and Other Historic Resources is a most excellent source of information which I often refer to.
I normally click on the top left icon, Old Hampshire Mapped, but believe that the one next to it on the right is more extensive and gets to the same maps and more.
This section could be called an indulgence to my lifelong fascination with maps and travel. Maps can tell you so much more than just how to get from A to B. Maps over time add to so much more.
Generally, the maps refer to Eling the settlement as opposed to the much larger parish. Something in the history must have given Eling some significance.
Saxton 1575
Saxton's map of Hampshire 1575
Extract from the Old Hampshire Mapped website about Saxton's map.
Map, hand coloured copper plate engraving, Southamtoniae, ie Hampshire, scale about 4 miles to 1 inch, engraved by Leonard Terwoort, Antwerp, Netherlands, published by Christopher Saxton, map maker, London? about 1575.
Published in the Atlas of England and Wales; it was usually issued in hand coloured form; measurements and notes made in the field were worked up later, with the help of earlier manuscript maps if available; Saxton almost certainly used the rudimentary triangulation techniques first described by the cartographer Frisius, Belgium, 1533.
Hills are drawn in profile to provide a general impression of the local topography, while named settlements are shown by a variety of symbols including a church with tower; rivers, coastline, some bridges, deer parks and woods are all included; the most obvious omission on Saxton's maps, to our eyes, are roads, which were not included on general county maps until the 1690s.
The map '... provides us with our first english example of accurate cartography': Colonel Close: 1930:: Hampshire Field Club.
Saxton's county maps were engraved by Ryther, Hogenberg, Reynolds, Terwoort and Scatter.

A map of Hampshire, including the Hundreds of the time. Remembering that a Hundred was an administrative area, part of and smaller than a County, and bigger than, and containing multiple Parishes.
The origin of the division of counties into hundreds is described by the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) as "exceedingly obscure". It may once have referred to an area of 100 hides; in early Anglo-Saxon England a hide was the amount of land farmed by and required to support a peasant family, but by the eleventh century in many areas it supported four families. Alternatively the hundred may have been an area originally settled by one "hundred" men at arms, or the area liable to provide one "hundred" men under arms.
Either way, a huge area of land for such a small population.

Eling is within the Hundred of Redbridge. Indicated on this map as 21. Fortunately, some of the hundreds have boundaries marked in red on this copy of the map, and 21 is one of them.
From this map it appears that the Hundred of Redbridge, at the time, extended North as far as Romsey, with its town and Abbey, including the Broadlands Estate, and South just past Elinge, on level with Lyndhurst. Note the spelling of Eling with an e at the end.
According to the Key or 'Explanation of the Map' the icon attributed to Elinge appears to be that of a Parish. This map is dated from 1595 and from elsewhere Parish Records commenced in 1537, which obviously predates the map.
Taylor's Hampshire 1759
Taylor's Hampshire 1759 - Section 33.
Circled in green, Grove Place, in Nursling, is not part of this story, but does get a mention elsewhere on this site. Eling, the settlement, circled in blue, is the centre of attention. Eling the parish, takes up a large portion of the map, and the Hundred of Redbridge takes up even more. Extending to Romsey
Copped Thorn Common and Copped Thorn are circled in red, and turn up later in our story, under a slightly changed name.
I will have to look up house 440 at Poltons. It is interesting that Great Testwood carries the same number. Poltons is now known as Paultons Park - Home of Peppa Pig World. How things change.
The estate can be traced back to 1086 where the ‘Paulet’ manor was in the possession of Glastonbury Abbey. The house became derelict and burned down in a great fire on 5 November 1963. Click the link to read about the Estate's History.
The above only looks at Section 33 of Taylor's Map of Hampshire. If you want to look at the whole map, which is very decorated, follow the link to the article Taylor's Map of Hampshire 1759 which opens in a new window.
Eling Parish Split in three 1837-1846
Ancient Parish of Eling
The Parish of Eling was divided, which is understandable, as it was a huge area, and would have had a growing population. Initially into, South to North, Marchwood, (1846), Ealing (Ancient) and North Eling (1837), .
The maps are from FamilySearch.
North Eling, blue wash, Eling, mouve, Marchwood, yellow.
Eling - re-sized
First the map with the revised size Eling parish as 1 and the newly formed North Eling as 2. Marchwood is also formed from the Ancient Parish of Ealing.

I have transcribed the image, which is clearly legible sat here, mainly to provide searchable text, but hopefully also to provide the information irrespective of the devise used to view this article.
North Eling
North Eling is an Ecclesiastical Parish in the county of Hampshire, created in 1837 from Eling Ancient Parish.

Marchwood is an Ecclesiastical Parish in the county of Hampshire, created in 1846 from chapelry in Ealing Ancient Parish.
Other places in the parish include: Decoy Pond.

For this rendition of the 6" version of the same Ordnance Survey Map I have slowly traced the boundary makers shown on the map to more easily see the ancient parish of Eling, as well as the now four resultant parishes.
First it was one parish, then three, then four at the time of this map, 1895.
It is made up of several map sheets, one of which is Hampshire & Isle of Wight Sheet LXIV.SE
Revised: 1895, Published: 1898.
The village of Eling is shown by the blue marker.

Jumping back in time to closer to that of Abraham Hurst, Taylor's Map of Hampshire 1759.
Milne's Map of Hampshire 1791, Andover and surrounding area.
Jumping forward out of the period of Abraham Hurst, which ended in 1777, above is an OS Original Series Map at about 1817. A little more detail, but not a huge change in the size of Andover.
The Greenwood 1826 Map of Hampshire, Andover and area, included here just to complete the set of Old Maps of Hampshire with a scale of approximately one Inch. Perhaps a little clearer as it is in colour.
Click on any of the above maps to view them at source, Old Hampshire Mapped. There are a lot more maps to see there.
Broughton and Houghton
Broughton is 10 to 11 miles, about 4hrs walking, away from Andover depending on which route taken, and is less than 3 miles from Houghton, only 1 hour walking. Unfortunately Google Maps does not yet have an option for riding a horse or horse and carriage, but somewhat quicker that walking
Houghton is around 10 miles, slightly less than 4hrs walking, away from Andover depending on which route taken.
The Parishes of Broughton and Houghton are both small and adjacent to one another.
The above is a screenshot of the current ESRI Church of England (CoE) Parish Map, centred on Broughton. On the live map there is a lot of statistical information about the Parish in the current time. Click on the image to go to the live map. The web address is to this image,but it may automatically redirect you London. If this is the case search for Broughton, Test Valley, Hampshire, England, GBR or Houghton, Test Valley, Hampshire, England, GBR
Not very relevant to the issue at hand, in the mid 1700's but interesting.
Still not the 1700's but a very much closer representation in Old OS maps.
A National Library of Scotland Georeferenced tiled Map with both Broughton and Houghton, both circled in blue, showing their relative positions. Just two miles as the crow flies. That is just the villages though as the parishes abut residences on either side of the parish boundary could be even closer.

Pittleworth, Bossington
Pittleworth is a farm and manor in a Parish South of Houghton called Bossington
Buckholt, Broughton
Buckholt Farm and Buckholt, Broughton, Hampshire
The entry for the baptism of Sarah Hurst 1781 referred to Abraham and Sarah Hurst of Buckholt. Sometimes that would refer to a place and other-times a Farm. There are not a lot of building in the area of Buckholt and no apparent hamlet or village so it could easily be referring to Buckholt Farm.
