Sway - where to find maps online?
« on: Sunday 08 October 06 12:01 BST (UK) »

I am trying to do a spot of house history.

Does anyone know of any online maps of North Sway that will help me discover when a house was built?

I am looking for 19th century maps.

Have you already tried the old maps site?

http://www.old-maps.co.uk

Problem is it only shows a map for one year - and it appears to be down at the moment.  Sad 

There is one for 1826 here:

http://www.geog.port.ac.uk/webmap/hantsmap/hantsmap/hantsmap.htm  but is not really detailed enough to show individual houses.

I don't know of any others at the moment that are free or that show enough detail  Sad

Many thanks, Little Nell.

Yes I've tried those links - as you said the problem is finding a large scale map showing individual houses.

I have Comyn's New Forest which shows the houses in 1810 but I don't think the house I am looking for is there.

Does anyone have a copy of Sway Snippets?  Does it have any maps?

I also need to look at the tithe map but that requires a visit to the Hampshire Records Ofiice and I'm not nearby.

Hi Bearkat

From memory, Sway Snippets & They also lived in Sway (the sequel by the same author) only have small hand-drawn maps in, but they do show who lived where. I might be able to consult them this weekend - what names are you looking for in Sway?

Best wishes

Thanks for the offer, Pete.

I'm looking for a house in Capel Lane, North Sway.  I'm trying to find out when it was built.  The census are not helpful as I can't pinpointwhere each household was - just says North Sway.

No joy, I'm afraid. I went through both books - plenty of personal names and field names, but no mention of C(h)apel lane. A lot of the work is based on Comyn, anyway. Happy to check if there are any specific names you are after.
I also tried Hampshire Treasures:
http://www.hants.gov.uk/hampshiretreasures/vol05/page301.html
which has some Sway buildings, but sadly nothing useful for your
purposes.
If I come across anything, I'll let you know.
Best wishes

Thank you, Pete.

I really appreciate you taking the time to check this out for me.  Shame there was nothing for Chapel Lane.  I shall have to check out the tithe map sometime.
