But, whichever county I put in on mapsearch it comes up? Has anyone any suggestions as to how I can find out exactly which county it's in. Thanks Lin.

	On my map it is given as in Hampshire - north of Fordingbridge and very near the county boundary with Wilts.
	Researching: Anstee/Bucks; Russell/London; Durose; Pease/North Yorks; Kelly/IoM

	I did a Google search. It is on Hantsweb....so Hampshire it is. It looks a lovely quiet spot. I don't know if it was always Hampshire as boundaries have changed and certainly Bournemouth 'changed' counties. Gwyn
