The Hampshire Family Historian | Volume 49 No.4 | March 2023

HGS News

William Barnes. Jane presented a case study detailing how a family meal in a local pub sparked her interest in family history! Using HGS resources she was able to trace her 3x great grandfather John Frederick TEES to Titchfield. His son-in-law had been the landlord of the Queens Head, Titchfield, the same pub Jane had visited. The exhibition also documented how the current partnership between Hampshire Genealogical Society and Hampshire Record Office came into to being and how the fact that HGS has been based at the Record Office for the last 18 months has benefitted both partners. We also took the opportunity to display some of the items available in our online shop. The exhibition was well received by visitors to the record office and did indeed generate interest in some of our merchandise. The plan is to keep these display boards for future use so if you couldn’t get to Winchester there will be other opportunities to see the exhibition later.
