Hi Baz,
Welcome to RootsChat.
There seem to be three couples by the names Mills in Holybourne around this time:
Thomas & Eliza/Elizabeth
John & Harriet
Peter & Elizabeth
Which one are you interested in - or is it all of them?

Hi Nell
I am trying to find a Henry Mills who was born in Holybourne around 1812
I cannot tell you which Mills family he was from was from. All I can say he was living
In Dunham on Trent (Notts) in 1851 age 40. So would presume that if any of the
people in your list, were his parents they would have to be in there 60s in 1851
Sorry I cannot give you any further information. Many thanks for your help.

Hi Nell
Thanks for your reply. Will have to try to get more information re Henry's date of birth.
I do have one document that gives his birth as 1820. But the 1851 census gives his age as 40. More research is obviously required
Once again many thanks for your help

You asked about the Mills family of Holybourne and the baptism of Henry. I think that the family below may be the one you are looking for. You say that he was given as being aged 40 in the 1851 census - is it possible that a '40' has been misread as a '20'? Yours Jane.
1812 4 May, Thomas Mills married Eliza Glover both of the Chapelry of Holybourne, by banns at St Lawrence’s church. Alton. Witnesses - Thomas Glover, Lucy Glover, (John Moore who attended most Alton marriages at the time).
At this period, no marriages took place in Holybourne. The couples had to come to Alton - which was the mother church.
1814 Thomas Mills, son of Thomas and Eliza of Holybourne, bap. at Holybourne.
1816 Peter Mills, son of Thomas and Eliza of Holybourne, bap. at Holybourne.
1819 George Mills, son of Thomas and Eliza of Holybourne, bap. at Holybourne.
1821 2 Sep., Henry Mills, son of Thomas and Eliza of Holybourne, bap. at Holybourne.
Thomas was described as a wheelwright in the baptism register.
1823 12 July, Thomas Mills, aged 34, buried in Holybourne.
1841 Census, Holybourne
Eliza Mills 50 y
George Mills 30 ag lab y
George Warner 50 ag lab y
Rachel Bud 20 y
Eliza seems to have been living on the eastern corner of London Road and Church Lane.
1851 Census, Holybourne
Eliza Mills wdw 61 laundress born Illsfield [sic]
Edward Morgan ldger 43 butcher “ Wallop
George had married and was living with his wife and 5 children 4 houses to the east of the White Hart, London Road.

Hello Janeh
Thanks for your information. I have checked print out of the 1851 census for Dunham bridge Notts. At that time Henry Mills had a family of 7 children. the eldest was 13. His wife is listed as 39years old.So I think it he would have been considerably older than 20. Is it possible that there were more than one Mills family living in Holybourne Hampshire at that time?
Sorry I have not replied earlier but have been without computer for a while.

Dear Baz - the only other Henry that it could be is the Henry baptised in Holybourne on 18 march 1804. He was the son of William and Hannah Mills.
William Mills of Froyle married Hannah Spencer of the Tithing of Neatham on 29 July 1793 at Froyle.
1793 8 Nov. William, child of William and Hannah Mills, baptised at Froyle.
They then seem to move to Holybourne.
Possible son? 1798 8 April, Thomas Mills, infant, buried at Holybourne.
Holybourne baptisms:-
1798 28 July, James, child of William and Hannah Mills
1798 28 July, Jane, child of William and Hannah Mills
[these may have been twins or the parents could have been getting an older child baptised with a younger one]
1800 13 July George, child of William and Hannah Mills
[1801 28 June, George Mills, infant, buried.]
1804 18 Mar Henry, child of William and Hannah Mills
1806 27 July Marye/Haryet, child of William and Hannah Mills
[1812 6 Mar Hannah Mills, aged 6, buried. Was this this child, possibly given her mother’s name in the register by mistake?]
1808 28 Nov Thomas, child of William and Hannah Mills
1808 17 June William Mills, aged 39, buried. Hence he was born c1769.
I can not find the family in the registers after this but they may appear in other sources such as the Overseers’ accounts. Yours Jane.

Dear Baz - I went to the HRO today and found the following which may give some background if your Henry was the son of William and Hannah. Poor Hannah left with the children - and then they lost their mother. Yours Jane.
Holybourne Overseers’ Accounts 21M79/PO1
1799 16 March, paid for examining Wm Mills 3/-
Presumably William looked as if he might become a charge on the parish of Holybourne. They may have just arrived or something may have happened that suggested William might not always be able to work - although he did not claim relief until the December.
William Mills received relief on and off from December 1799
Apr.1801 to Feb.1802 Wm Mills receiving relief
From October 1804- Wm Mills receiving relief
1807
March, Wm Mills’s rent paid £2/12/-
12 Apr., Wm Mills 12/-
no more payments until-
27 Sep., Wm Mills Ill one week 10/-
and same each week until-
27 Dec., Wm Mills 2 Weeks Ill £1/-/-
1808
16 Jan., Wm Mills 3 Weeks Ill £1/10/-
13 Feb., Wm Mills Expenses to the Hospital £3/-/-
paid coach etc 12/6
12 Mar., Wm Mills at the Hospital £1/4/-

1808 4 June, William Mills £2/0/0

Laying forth Wm Mills 5/-

the Grave for Wm Mills 2/6
Hannah Mills was paid between £1/10/- and £2/4/0 a week as well as her rent of £2/12/0 being paid each year.
1809 2 July, mention of Hannah having 4 children
1810 8 Apr., paid James Woolveridge Days Work

1810 17 Apr., paid one pair shoes Hanah Mills boy 5/6
8 Feb., Hanna Mills £2/4/0
Paid Till Hore? to get sope & Candels & Provisions &c 5/6 [added Millses]

up to that date 16/0
29 May, Paid James Smee looking after Hanah Mills
Child 8 weeks up to May 30th at 4/- per week £1/12/0
and so on each month with one child with Mrs Durman and the other with James Smee.
James Smee, a labourer, had married Lucy Spencer in 1801 in Froyle so was probably related by marriage to the Mills family.

Hello Janeh
Thank you very much for your work on the Mills family.
I feel that, my Henry was the son Of Willam and Hannah as Henry named his children with the same names that William and Hannah had used. The details you supply give a very good insight of the social conditions of that era.
