A friend and I often go around the local cemeteries and churchyards. Sometimes to research as OH is local here in Bedfordshire and sometimes just to wander around in the peace and quite. Also if the churches are open we call inside and have a look around. It is such a shame that most have to be locked now but here we are lucky enough to have a few that remain open all the time not just for services.

Mistycat, I quite often go to the New Forest, but haven't actually 'sussed out' what area my (and, strangely ex's) ancestors from the New Forest lived/died in..
I found out we both had Great Grandmothers from the Forest.
His were Haines, mine were Burt. Mine moved from the Forest to Eling, then to Nursling. His moved to Whitchurch.(both in service)
I know there were/are lots of Burts' in the New Forest.
Alice Liddell is buried in Lyndhurst. - as Mrs Reginald Hargreaves.
Next trip will be to a New Forest Cemetery!

Joy, you were BORN in a cemetery?? :-D
