Hello,
I am looking into Henry and Mary Streater of New Alresford. Henry was a maltster and was in some sort of debt, as reported by newspapers at the time.
They had the following children:
Mary, baptised 04/08/1740
Henry, baptised 28/04/1742
Samuel, baptised 30/11/1743
Martha, baptised 17/08/1745
Hannah, baptised 12/08/1747
Betty, baptised 04/10/1749
Ann, baptised 08/11/1751
All were baptised in New Alresford, at St. John the Baptist.
I am primarily interested in the Streaters because this is my oldest branch I have traced! I am descended from Henry twice, as my great-great-grandparents, Alexander and Helen S. MacGregor were first cousins. Their Streater parents came from Farringdon, with their grandad from East Worldham, and their great-grandad from New Alresford, as was discovered on the 1769 marriage record from East Worldham.
Thanks,
Adam

This book appears to provide some help, but I can make no sense of it:

Hi,
I expect you have looked at it in this format already, but just in case,

It took me ages to realise that these could be looked at like a book rather than struggling through a list of text ::) :)
Regards,
Daisy

Yes, I did eventually discover that and make sense of it ;D
However, it seemed to show that there were a lot of Streaters in New Alresford, and they seemed to have been a Quaker family. No mention of my Henry though :(
