Hi All,
I have an ancestor, Charles Hooker, who is referred to in an extract of text from the Gazettes, amoungst other extracts.
To the Creditors of Charles Hooker. NOTICE
is hereby given, that by an indenture bearing
date the 10th of May 1850, Charles Hooker, of Basingstoke,
in the county of Southampton, Coachmaker,
assigned all his estate and effects unto Charles Barton, of
Basingstoke aforesaid, Baker, John Hewlett Beatley, of the
same place, Gunsmith, and Robert Nichols, of the same
place, Auctioneer, upon trust for themselves and all other
the creditors of the said Charles Hooker who should execute
the same; and that the said indenture was duly executed by
the said Charles Hooker, Charles Barton, John Howlett
Beatley, and Robert Nichols respectively, on the day of the
date thereof, in the presence of and such execution is attested
by William Henry Prickett. of Odiham, in the said
county, Solicitor, and that the same indenture now lies at
our office, in Odiham aforesaid, for execution by the creditors
of the said Charles Hooker.—Dated this 20th day of
May 1850.
PRICKETT and KING, Solicitors, Odiham and
Basingstoke. [crown copyright - source http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk]
I know that in 1851 Charles and his family lived in London Street Basingstoke. A Coach builder emplying 3 men and had a servant. At least that is what he is claiming, so quite quickly he seems to have found his feet or he became an employee, employing people. They moved to London some time before 1861.
Can anyone tell me where I might search for more information, for example there must be a list of the estate including belongings and details of Charles outstanding debt. Would it be best to find the holder of the Solicitors paperwork and search from there.
Any help you be welcome.

It is possible that the archive of this solicitors has been deposited at the county record office, but I cannot find reference to it in the catalogue. It may be worth contacting Hampshire Record Office and asking them. Otherwise, the papers may exist with the solicitors or whoever took over the practice. But there is no guarantee of this at all.

Thanks Little Nell,
I did have a quick search of the Hants archive but as you said nothing cropped up. Hopefully I'll find something, somewhere.
