Hi there. My gtx2 grandfather - Henry Lambden (born c 1849) - seems (according to the Census returns) to have been born in at least three different places in Hampshire - Whitchurch (1891), St Mary Bourne (1881) and Overton (1871). I think each census entry is the right family as the children listed are the right names. I am finding it difficult to find Henry on the 1861 census as there are several different options - depending on the birth place!! He married in 1869 so should in theory be with his parents in 1861........ Does anyone know these villages and whether they were at one time one in the same?

Whitchurch St Mary Bourne and Overton are within a gnats whisker of each other!! If he was an ag lab, he could easily moved between the three for work - I've walked to all 3 in a day - stopping off at the odd 'hostelry' !! Whitchurch is the biggest - almost a small town. St Mary Bourne is a small village and Overton a village. maggie

Well seeing as his parents are George and Maria in 1851 then this is him in 1861: Name: Henry Lambden Age: 12 Estimated birth year: abt 1849 Relation: Son Father's name: George Mother's name: Maria Gender: Male Where born: Bowine, Hampshire, England Civil parish: Overton County/Island: Hampshire Country: England Registration district: Whitchurch Sub-registration district: Whitchurch ED, institution, or vessel: 13 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 33 Household Members: Name Age Elizabeth Lambden 4 Francis Lambden 3 George Lambden 31 Henry Lambden 12 Maria Lambden 32 Rose

I had thought that his parents were George & Maria but was not sure as he had so many different birth places. His father is listed as George on his marriage certificate to Ann (Miller). All my others seemed to have the same place of birth each time so this one confused me!! Think I will have to try and find his birth and get his certificate to confirm George & Maria as parents. Thanks to you all for your help

and yet another birth place: Bowine ? is this another village in Hants?

Sharon, It says Bourne on the image. try multimap to see the villages. Rose

I don't see his birth. It could be he was born before his parents married but I don't see him under Henry Allen either. Rose

Thank you Rose and all. Will try and find his birth and get his certificate. Bourne and St Mary Bourne are, I guess, the same place. I don't very often post questions but always get such positive help xxx

Ann, Those records from IGI are submitted by a member of the LDS and are not factual. Rose
