You think you are losing it - my maths just failed big time, didn't it!  Of course he would be 26 or so.
I've no idea if this is relevant, but I'll give you the information anyway. I found a baptism for a child in Stratfield Turgis in 1825:
Edward Henslow bapt 16 Jan 1825, parents Thomas & Harriet Henslow
I can't find a marriage for the pair anywhere.
There are also several more Henslow baptisms where the mother is recorded as Harriet, married woman and occasionally the child is described bastard. These are Charles, Caroline, Elizabeth, Francis and Eliza. A further two are in Heckfield with an alias Clements.
Just something else to consider!

Strewth..i've only been doing this research business for around 19 months but already i count names to send me to sleep as opposed to sheep 
If that was my Thomas in your last post he certaintly didn't get much sleep,that would make 13 at last count,perhaps Harriet was his 'bit on the side'.Joking apart the Clements name is quite interesting, as originally i was looking at his possible mothers maiden name as being Clements.Thank you and like you said something else to consider.
Best regards
Steve

Just by chance while reading another thread i came upon another possible place of birth for Thomas..the place is Hawley....it is relatively near Hartley Wespall and could have been mistranscribed wrongly..would sks be able to look up the baptism records for Hawley around 1795 if they exist that is..would be most appreciative.
Thank you
Steve

Hawley did not become a separate parish until 1838. You would need Yateley parish registers.
I've just checked the transcription - nothing that even remotely resembles Hensler/Hansler etc. Sorry

Hi Nell...just been looking at the 1841 census for Shalfleet district 3 Newbridge IOW,and now thinking i've been looking in the wrong place for Thomas's birthplace/baptism...on the returns it says he was born in the county,under Hensler,i don't really know the island that even though it was my neighbour for 47 odd years..is there a place on the island similar to Hartley do you know?Another desparate go at finding his baptism

Unfortunately born in county on an Isle of Wight return still means Hampshire. There are no ancient parishes which begin "H" - and I don't know of anywhere on the island with a name like it.
Keep clutching at those straws

Hi deejay..many thanks for that info,it's quite interesting the fact about Thomas' occupation being Royal Marine Artillery...in 1841 census he is down as an Ag Lab,but in '51 he was a Greenwich Pensioner and '61 a Royal Marine Pensioner,he also had a son called Thomas with a date of birth of 1832 so the dates of that son don't match up,still interesting though,unless they are half brothers(i think),there is also a death for Thomas Hansley,Sept 1861 in Alverstoke(that poss link again).
Off to try and find a birth/baptism for a Henslor in the Gosport area.Thank you once again.
Off track a bit..Thomas Henslow m Kezia Urry 21/4/1851 where.....yep Alverstoke

Yup, the place name is supposed to give rise to the surname. There are lots of Hartley people in Lancashire, Cheshire and Yorkshire ( one particularly famous one is the David Hartley, an 18th century coiner who was hanged in 1770), a fair few in Kent and Cumberland.
Someone said it meant (I think) the place or clearing where the deer are - since there are Hartleys in many areas, perhaps that is true!

Saying that i think i'm looking for something that really isn't there,the 1861 census definately says born in Hartley,Hampshire...though i did find a baptism in Hartley,Kent on 16/2/1817 of a Thomas son of Thomas and Harriet,problem is the surname was Holland.....why did i put that up,just confuses me even more

Ok this is my last go at this Hartley problem..have been trying to find a Hartley Mauditt on my road maps,couldn't find a thing(must be such a tiny village),so googled maps and found out it is south east of Alton so in the area i am concentrating on.Thing is, does it have its own parish records or do they come under another parish .
Failing this(clutching at them straws again)would it be more prudent to try and trace forward instead of back,i'm looking at possible parentage as being Thomas and Sarah(nee Clements) Hansler/Hensler who were married in1790 in Hartley Wespall,just to see if there are any baptisms for any of their children(if they had any that is)to see if it may throw up any solutions,do you understand that cos i don't,i've lost the plot,or has that already been mentioned,off down the road now to find my marbles
