Hi Ann and Colin I live in Alverstoke in Gosport. I was born in Portsmouth and have lived in Gosport for most of my life. I lived in Poole and Bournemouth for a few years while i did my nurse training and then i returned to Gosport again. Jane |

Born in Portchester. Married there and visit frequently.Still trying to 'put it on the map' for the rest of UK folk. Dad grew up in Fratton, Portsmouth and when he bought the bungalow in Portchester,(1936), his workmates asked why he wanted to go right out into the country. Wonder what they would think now. |

Feel like a Hampshire gal now. I hail from Nottingham but have lived here for fortyeight years (had to use my fingers then). My ancesters come from Alverstoke to the east and Charlton Marshall to the west on my maternal side and from Portsmouth on my paternal side, so I suppose it was inevitable that I should move down to the South too. Hi there Jenny, isn't 'coronated' a lovely word!!! Norah in Hampshire |

I was born in Sussex, moved around a bit, but lived in Fawley from 1967-72, Portsmouth 72-74, Abbotts Ann 84-86, Hythe 86-90, and have lived in Winchester since. I always knew one side of my family came from the Southampton area, but only since living here have I traced their ancestors back to Mottisfont (1733) and, ironically, Fawley (1720.) |
