Hayling Manor c1737

[kiwisusan]

I have recently downloaded the will of Richard MORZE dated 16 Nov 1737 wherein he mentions leaving his copyhold estate of the Manor of Hayling to his daughter Mira? (name was hard to read).

The will mentions that the manor 'is now in the occupation of Richard ANDREWS & ? STAIRES'.

Does anyone have info on Hayling Manor or know where I could find such info? 

Thanks

You could try searching CALM - the Hampshire Records Office online catalogue -

Thanks for the site bearkat.  I had a look but wasn't able to find any information - perhaps I was looking at the site incorrectly.

If you go to the search page of CALM

http://calm.hants.gov.uk/DServeA/search.htm

enter Hayling Manor in the search, then click the combine fields option.

Thank you Steve and Bearkat.  I found the sites very interesting (especially after I was advised on how to look at CALM :-). 

I found that Richard MORZE acquired 4 acres of land in Mengeham in 1744 (Finding No 7M55/44/17, Misc Hamp Deeds) and that he wasn't the Lord of the Manor as hoped :-).  This Richard must be the son of the Richard whose Will I found in 1737 so the family must have spent some time in the area.

Once again, thank you for your help.

Regards

Hi Susan,

If it is of any interest, all but two of the 19 burials for MORZE in Hampshire occurred in South Hayling.  The Richard whose will you have found was buried on the 18th November 1837 and is recorded as Mr Richard Morze - he obvioulsly had some standing in the area.  Nobody else was described as Mr!

Thank you Little Nell for that snippet.  Did you mean the date to be 1837 or 1737?  Just wondered because it seems that many of the Morzes were named Richard (I bet out of the 19 burials in Hayling you mentioned, 17 of them were named Richard and named so just to test the patience of any researcher :-). 

I had only been aware of 2 or 3 Morze burials in South Hayling so to be told there are so many still to search is encouraging - thanks Little Nell.
