Do you know Lymington?
« on: Sunday 24 June 07 09:16 UTC (UK) »
In 1838 a family member was born in, what looks like, Viensia Row Lymington.  Does anyone recognise this name and does the Row still exist, or has it been renamed?    ...iensia is clear, but the first letter is not so clear - it may be an N.

Any info. would be much appreciated.

Many thanks.

Might it be Captains Row?

What was the name and have you found them on 1841 census?  They might still be there.

Hi Little Nell

No, it is not Captains Row.  It is '?iensia' or, at a squeeze,
?iersia.   By 1841 they had moved to Southampton.

Just thought it would be nice to visit the address in Lymington if it still existed but needed to sort out the name first!

Many thanks for you help anyway.

Could this name, with any stretch of the imagination, be 'Lentune'?

In ancient times, the town of Lymington was known as 'Lentune'.

When I had a query relating to Lymington, I got in touch with the St Barbe Museum there. The Curator was very helpful.

Good luck with your research!

Hi Marjorie,

I walked with the enumerator this afternoon and wondered if the attached is what you seek?  It is in the vicinity of Gosport Street and Bridge Row/Road.  I suspect that it has become something else now.

Thank you Indaloman - would love to hear if your friend  does come up with anything.  The family name was Wheeler, the wife's maiden name was Benger.

Many thanks for your help.  Yes, that looks very much like the address on the certificate.    Do you mean you actually walked the streets of Lymington today looking for the address or searched through the enumerator's records? !   Thank you so very much.   I have found Gosport Street and Bridge Row on the map.

Hello Marjorie

I can see now that - even with a stretch of the imagination - that name could not be 'Lentune'!


It looks as if it could be 'Vienna' or something like that but, hopefully, the Curator of the St Barbe Museum will be able to put you right.

Best wishes

This is an 1840 map of Lymington (not sure it extends far enough though)

http://www.klitzandsons.co.uk/lymington/lhighst.jpg

Looks as if a copy of "Lymington High Street Then & Now" by Robert Coles 1984, might hold the answer.

I think it is Vienna Rows and "V Cottage" below that could be Vienna Cottage which is in Bridge Road.

It's mentioned on the Hampshire Treasures pages http://www.hants.gov.uk/hampshiretreasures/vol05/page186.html

Hi Shaun

The photo copy of the name was in fact sent to me by Nell presumably from an original census.   My original query comes from a birth certificate which gives the address of Viensia (?) Row - and the photo copy looks VERY similar - however, no cottage name or number given on the certificate,  so I don't think it can be the same property, unless, of course Vienna Row was in Bridge Road!

Thank you also the the Hampshire Treasures page - what a super site - I will explore that more!

Hi Bearkat

Thank you for the 1840 map.  As you say I don't think it extends quite far enough because, from info. received, I think it was at the other end of Gosport Street.

However, I will go to the library and look for the book suggested.

Very many thanks.

Looking at the 1851 census there was a Vienna Place next to Vienna Cottage in the Gosport St/Bridge Road/Miller Lane area .
