1902 Alverstoke Birth Cert Query
« on: Monday 30 August 04 21:43 BST (UK) »
I have a birth certificate that I am trying to identify some information on - do not know if any one can help.

The birth is of a Sydney Arthur Russell Bell b. 08 Aug 1902, Alverstoke, Southampton, I cannot make out the address it is 18 (Mouland, cannot make this out) Road, the town looks like it might be Fratton, only it seems to be spelt Fraton or something.
The father is Sydney Richard Bell & the mother a Margaret, formerly Cole - Sydney Richard seems to be a Prison Warden, does anybody have any information on what prison it might be. The father in 1901 was married to an Edith Ann formerly Rogers & appears on the 1901 census as a Bombardeer B O G S A Royal Gan Artilley, but must have remarried & changed jobs by Aug 1902.

If anybody is able to point me in the right direction I would be a very happy girl. Many thanks - sadie Kiss[font=Verdana][/font]

Hi Sadie,

I've only just come across this post  Embarrassed - sorry it has taken so long!

The address is actually Moreland Road, the place is Forton which is in the Alverstoke/Gosport area of Portsmouth and the prison looks as if it is now HMP Haslar in Gosport.

If you search Moreland Road Gosport at

and zoom out you will get to an OS map of the area.  Go south-east towards the harbour shore and you will see the prison marked.

Hope that helps you.
