The Hampshire Family Historian | Vol.49 No.1 | June 2022

Editorial

Message from the editor Thanks to those who have responded to our appeals for articles, some are in this journal and fortunately there are a few in hand for future journals. I would still appreciate more to keep a stock of articles in hand. Jim Dewey is a regular contributor and has sent in an article about the last days of sail in the Royal Navy which, although it does not feature genealogy as such, may help others who have naval ancestors in the period of changeover from sail to steam. Grace Bungay’s article about her Bramble ancestors is a rather sad tale of the misfortunes of that branch of the family. The article mentions the Drover and Bailey families which was of interest to me as editor, as I am related to the Drover and Bailey families, see the Vol46 No4, March 2020, a branch that fared somewhat better.

Margaret Bowman has complied an article from the Britains Dying

Overseas that some members maybe assisting with. The article is about a

families’ life in Cornwall then emigrating to Australia and their life in Queensland. Stephen Pomeroy Editor
