Pondside Farm, Millbrook (Southampton)
« on: Wednesday 10 September 14 18:09 BST (UK) »
Hello

In 1907, at least, there was a place called Pondside Farm (or Pond Side Farm) at Millbrook, Hampshire.  I have tried to locate information about the farm - location / occupants, etc but have not had any luck.

I also tried to do an address search of the 1911 census (on findmypast) but could not find it.  Not sure if this was due to my lack of skill in address searches or the poor search capability of the 'new' FindMyPast.

I would appreciate suggestions on where else I might check, and / or advice about how to find the address in 1911 census.

Thank you

I can see the farm in 1901 Pond  Side Farm if it helps, with the following family living there.  The farm was between the Swan Inn and Oak House on the census

William J    Weston 55 1846 Dairyman    Millbrook, Hampshire,
Martha Weston 56 Longdown, Hampshire,     
Lewis Weston  22 Farmer    Millbrook    
Jessie Weston    20    Mothers Help    Millbrook
Hester Weston    17    Millbrook     
Henry Weston 14 Millbrook    
Vasttie?? Weston 11 Millbrook
RG13 Piece1071 Folio 64 Page 8

Edit - The farm is shown on some of the maps on Old Maps site http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html  Search for Millbrook and select the Hampshire one.  If you select the 1887 or 1907  map overlay Pondside Farm is shown by the Swan Inn on the northern side of the old village

Hi you were looking for this some years ago. I have a birth cert of a birth there in 1907. Wonder if your query has anything to do with mine. Jennie
