From previous census seems my Gt. Gran was born in Hampshire - have found a likely birth record which shows Droxford - anyone know where that is - or even better anywhere that we can check areas of Registration district??? thanks Gill |

You need to start at this webpage: http://www.fhsc.org.uk/genuki/places/ If you want to see what is included in Droxford District, click Hampshire and then Droxford. It also has a list of place names (link on the same page) so you can search the other way round.....''Parish X is in which District???'' Merry |

Thanks to Merry and Sylvia - seems I've got the right one then as next census shows she was born in Hampshire (where her mother was) but they moved around a bit so wanted to make sure had right one - I think Droxford being in Hants means I do! thanks again Gill |

You can always google to find where somewhere is, or use www.streetmap*co.uk. Genuki's list is very useful and I have it stored in my favourites. nell |

Droxford as the crow flies is about 12 miles from Southampton,the district comes under volume 2c from 1852-1930. The full details are on the Genuki site,including towns,parishes,and info links to different sites.You can also find which local registry office can supply bmd certs for the area etc. Glen |
