The records office is in Winchester, which includes all of Hampshire. I'm not sure if Southampton will be included in the New Forest district though. I think that is a district of its own.

	Southampton has a records office of its own and Winchester (Hampshire) and Southampton both have web sites I think. Ann Glos

	Why is it called the New Forest? I read this a long time ago http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Children_of_the_New_Forest and have wondered ever since ...

	Just googled the New Forest - not a lot on it's origins are there! It was a royal hunting area set up for William the Conquerer, so was 'New' in about 1066!! http://www.essentialnormanconquest.com/encyclopedia/new_forest.htm More info here: http://www.newforest.hampshire.org.uk/history1.html

	But first Kathryn, you had to have some idea of the time!!! Just googling New Forest - history - gave little away. Having been brought up there for a while, I knew the William the Conquerer connection. Gwyn, Have pm'd you about Henry. I haven't been out that way for a time - and I usually go about once every 2 months!!! maggie xx
