Is there a Charlwood in Hampshire?

[yelkcub]

I believe there may be a hamlet called Charlwood in Hampshire (I know, of course, of the Charlwood in Surrey). I've tried several Google search permutations, without success.
If anyone is able to help, I'd be most grateful

There is one just south of Four Marks

Many thanks for the information and the map. I have an ancestor who was recorded in the 1851 census as having been born in Charlwood Surrey. He is not found in the records, so I wondered if perhaps he might have hailed from another Charlwood. I wonder where the people of Charlwood Hants went to have their children christened ...

East Tisted or Ropley, I would think.

Thanks, Nell. Do you happen to know if any of the parish records for places close to Charlwood, Hants, are published? This is my first piece of research relating to Hampshire, so I don't yet know my way round the available resources. Gloucestershire, for example, has many of its county's parish records in book form. Anything like that for Hampshire?

Since you don't mention any dates, all I can say is to look at the resources section of the Hampshire board where online transcriptions are listed.  East Tisted baptisms and marriages are included on the IGI, while Ropley is included in the Vital Records.

I've not personally found many Hampshire PRs in book form, except Phillimore's marriages.  These of course are not complete coverage of Hampshire. Vol 1-15 are available on the Genuki site.

Have a look also at Hampshire GS publications.

Who is it you are looking for?

Thanks for your advice Nell. I think I'm really clutching at straws here. I'm still trying to find the origins of my elusive ancestor Henry Page. On his 1851 death certificate he was said to be 'about 66 years', giving him a birth year circa 1785. His census entry of 1851, however, records his age as 60 and his birthplace as Charlwood Surrey. Henry Page is not found in the baptismal records of Charlwood or any parish close to Charlwood. I began to wonder whether he had given his birthplace as Charlwood and the enumerator had added 'Surrey' ... Henry lived in London from at least 1810, when his first child was christened in Marylebone; in 1841 he lived in Bury Street, Westminster, and in 1851 in Hillingdon. I know from a later legal document that Henry had three brothers - Richard, Charles Robert, and Thomas - the latter was a wine merchant, for a time partner in Gray's Inn Coffee House and Tavern, who died in Greenwich in 1835. Henry Page's wife was Jane Godden, wose origins are as obscure as her husband's. At the moment it seems that I have exhausted my ideas of how to proceed with this research.
