England Jurisdictions 1851 - Collection

 

 

This is mainly a collection of snippets I have created for use elsewhere on this site.

I like to include information about places occupied by people as well as the people themselves. I think it creates a more rounded image of the story or person.

 

The parish snippet has the following note, in this case for Bramshaw.

England Jurisdictions 1851 - Bramshaw

Extract from FamilySearch England Jurisdictions 1851. This link may not work if you don't have a subscription to FamilySearch

Then search for Bramshaw, Wiltshire. Use the Key to select which boundaries you wish to see.

 

Generally within Articles, I use the subject matter, the parish, first, followed by a more general context level zoom out. However, within this article I will start wide, and zoom in.

 

Counties and Civil Registration Districts of Southern Central England

Not all Parishes, not Civil Registration Districts, (CRD) are within solely one county. Generally I use majority rules in such cases.

The Camp on Nursling Common

 

The Camp on Nursling Common, Hampshire - 1795

 

The Camp

In the Parish Register for Nursling, there are several references to 'the Camp' or 'from the Camp', without any clear explanation of where or what the Camp was. From context it is assumed to be a place.

 

The Camp, why

I have yet to find any clear reason for the Camp, but looking at the history of the time may provide some insight.

The French Revolution (1789–1799) and the French Revolutionary Wars (1792–1802) caused considerably disquiet in the politics of Britain at the time.

Armies were raised in preparation, for defense against invasion by France.

See British Regiments and the Men Who Led Them 1793-1815: the "Ephemeral Corps" 1793-1796

I assume there was a massing of families associated with those regiments within Hampshire and other Counties along the South Coast.

The Camp, evidence

This is evident in the sudden increase in baptisms and burials found in the Parish Register for Nursling.

The records refer to 'from the Camp' but don't explicitly state if that is Toot Hill Camp or some other area.

The Camp seems to have been set up sometime shortly before August 1795.

Eling Parish Records

 

Eling Parish Records

 

Parish and Bishop Transcripts for the parish of Eling in Hampshire, including the parishes split out of the Ancient Parish of Eling.

The process I used starts with creating a dataset of the records, preferably by reference to images of the original parish record book.

The dataset is then used to create the information listed below.

I refer you to the Millbrook One Place Study in the first instance. That has a lot of the background information which would be repetitive if just repeated here.

Nursling has also been called Nutshalling as can be seen in the Ordnance Survey drawing held at the British Library. Nutshalling is circled in blue. The nearby Grove Place is circled in green, the seat of Sir Charles Mills. Shirley, in the adjacent parish of Millbrook is circled in orange.
