Update on Q1 - with special thanks to Vbond who has recently discovered a settlement examination for John Stoodley detailing his place of birth as Swanage in Dorset.

Update - 25 Jul 09:

John Stoodly (Stoodley) married Hester Moody 20/03/1797 Sherfield English. Witnesses were Stephen Moody & John White. (Not sure what relationship Stephen Moody is (if any))

John was described as a sojourner (not of this parish). Hester's parents were Isaac & Martha (nee Parrick, I believe)

The couple lived in Mottisfont and had the following children:

Mary 1798 (Bapt 1805) - b. Sherfield English/Mottisfont
Anna 1800 b. Mottisfont
William 1802-1803 (Bapt 1805) b. Mottisfont - ?
George 1804-1805 (Bapt 1805) b. Mottisfont - 1867
James Bapt 1807 Mottisfont - ?
Martha 1809 Mottisfont - 1899
Charles 1812 Mottisfont - 1815 (d. Alverstoke)

They then move to Alverstoke and have 1 more child (Phoeby in 1814). (John's occupation is a Carpenter. Hester dies after the birth of Pheoby in 1814.

George & Martha return to Mottisfont and live with their aunt & uncle John & Elizabeth Leach.

John dies in the Alverstoke Poor House and is buried in 1836 (age given as 69). Alverstoke Poor House records have not survived.

My questions/puzzles are:

1. Where was John from ? Swanage in 1769 ~~Could he have moved to Alverstoke/Clayhall as moving~~ ~~back to his place of birth~~ ? Or was it to do with the Napoleonic Wars ?

Are there any records at the Portsmouth Record Office that might assist in putting a bit more on the bones for him ? The family were living in Clayhall - could he have worked at Haslar ?

2. What happened to William, Mary & James ? They do not appear in the Mottisfont or Alverstoke burial registers. (Additional info: There is a James Stoodly in Portsmouth in 1841 but I do not believe at present this is the same one)

3. I believe that Elizabeth Leach is perhaps Hester's sister as she states born in Sherfield (English) on the 1851 census (aged 76). She dies in 1856. However she does seem to appear on the IGI for Sherfield. Can anyone track her down to show her link to John & Hester ?
Still unable to find her baptism - however John Stoodly was one of the witnesses at her marriage - which probably confirms that Hester & Elizabeth were sisters.

Grateful please for fresh pairs of eyes (particularly for Q2). Any assistance and advice is much appreciated. Kanskar
