Henwood Hamlet in Cornwall

David gives me new information about the community of Henwood in Cornwall that I've been calling a village.

What came first - the place name HENWOOD or the surname HENWOOD? I don't know. Also strictly HENWOOD is a hamlet not a village. There is no Church there - it is in the parish of Linkinhorne so baptisms, marriages and funerals take place there. My branch of HENWOOD moved to Linkinhorne circa 1815 and a cousin still lives there now. Have you any knowledge of how long the place has been there? In its "heyday" - mid/late 1800's it would have been home to miners.

Perhaps some other researchers can answer this question.

Australian Steve Henwood

Another Steve Henwood living in Australia contacted our Stephen Wesley Henwood and said he had visited this village of Henwood in Cornwall . His relatives were miners and coach painters there. They immigrated to Australia in the 1850's and kept up coach painting and later joined railways. He lives with his wife and 2 kids in the town of McLaren Vale, south of the city of Adelaide in South Australia. His is employed as an aircraft engineer for Qantas.

What made me wonder is that our Steve's grandfather, Charles Ernest Henwood, had lived in Australia and in fact set a record with his motorcycle by riding from one end of Australia to the other. Hopefully it might be in their newspaper archives and someone can find it. It has been the talk in this family.

WWI Charles Henwood, Soldier

My father in law was Charles Ernest Henwood b: 1896 Winchfield, Hartley Wintney Row, County of Hampshire, England, who served in the British WWI army at a very young age because he had become an orphan when a teenager. He was on the census of 1901 in Surrey. I haven't found any records for him as yet but just found a Charles Francis Henwood who was born in Kew, Surrey, who enlisted in WWI (1914-1920) at the age of 18. He was in the RH, RFA. Now why can't I find Charles Ernest?

Henwoods Married, Born in Kingsclere, Hampshire, England

Thomas Henwood married on 3 February 1610 to Dorathe Wesoon in Kingsclere, Hampshire, England.

Richard Henwood married on 26 February 1608 to Mary Wellman in Kingsclere, Hampshire, also.

John Henwood married on 23 April 1629 to Mary Martin in Kingsclere, Hampshire.

Dunant Hynwode had a son, Wylim Hynwode who was baptised on 13 July 1573 in Kingsclere, Hampshire, England.

Then John Hynwode had a daughter, Dorathie Hynwode who was baptised on 9 December 1573 in Kingsclere, Hampshire, England.



Kingsclere is a large village and civil parish in the county of Hampshire, England. Kingsclere is located near to Watership Down, the setting of Richard Adams' 1972 novel Watership Down.

Henwoods in Hampshire Not Identified

I found a William Henwood born in 1742 and christened 1 July 1742 in Hartley Wespall, Hampshire with a father William and mother Anne. I haven't placed them on the tree as yet. These are Hampshire people, too.

Then I found a William Henwood on the Burials in Wield, Hampshire, England who died at age 63 on 23 November 1809 that I haven't placed. They have to be a part of the family as this is in Wield, a place where the family is from.

Weston Patrick, Hampshire, England is the home of other Henwoods I haven't placed that are on a Henwood listing. I just found a 75 yr old Henry Henwood and his 74 yr old wife Eliza on the 1891 census in Shalden, Hampshire. Henry was born in Weston Patrick while Eliza was born in West Worldham. Their 44 yr old nephew William was living with them. He was from Shalden. They lived in The Village and were agricultural workers. Henry was on the 1901 census in the same place but not Eliza. She must have died, however William was still with him at age 55 now.

Must Be a Relative in Prison: Charles Henwood

Oh oh. There are lots of Charles Henwoods on our tree. I just found another one in prison.
Charles Henwood had a trial on October 14, 1851 in Kingston, Surrey, England and was imprisoned. He was charged with stealing from a person.. I don't know how long he was in prison but they also had a choice of fining him or whipping him besides imprisonment. He received 6 cab m......, and I don't know what that was, 6 months, years, or whippings. I believe it could be a Charles born in 1830, making this person only 21 years old. He was the son of Henry and Sarah Henwood. I could be wrong, but it is a Charles Henwood that fits the timeframe. He was born in Basingstoke, a place I have found many Henwoods.

Surrey has a population of approximately 1.1 million people today. The historic county town is Guildford, although the county administration was moved to Newington in 1791 and to Kingston upon Thames in 1893.

The interesting thing is that my children's grandfather was Charles Henwood born in Surrey. He would never steal from anyone. He was a very honest man, a carpenter and gardener.

John Henwood born 1538

I finally worked back to John Henwood born 1538 in Medstead, Hampshire, England. He had a wife named Anne born in about 1540. They had five children:
Sibbel, Joan, Thomisen (a girl), Alice and Guy.
All the Henwoods have managed to stay either in the county of Hampshire or next to it. I've found no one in Cornwall so far, unless it happened before 1538.

Henwood Surname Popularity in USA

According to the USA Federal 2000 census, Henwood was ranked as 23,072 most popular surname with 1,034 Henwoods in the USA. This was a 0.38 out of 100,000 people.

The name seems to be either from the Henwood Village in Cornwall, England, which we are not from, or from Hampshire, England, where I have traced our family. The oldest spelling I have seen is Hynwode found in 1572 in Kingsclere, Hampshire, England. I found a James, John, Wyllm , Dunant and Dorathie there.
12/4/09 From Valerie Henwood, researcher: yes this is the early spelling of the name but Kingsclere is in the North of the county of Hampshire, and as yet [30 years of research] I have not found a connection with these Henwoods and ours in the south of the county, unless it goes further back than the parish records, there are more Henwoods of this early date just on the border in the neighbouring county of Berkshire, and I think these early ones crossed back and forth so to speak,

Valerie on Dunant: She tells me that the Christian name is Conant.

I checked in England and it is not even listed there.

Birth Certificate of Charles Henwood Arrived

Charles Henwood, born in March 1854 in Farnham, Surrey, England, is the great great grandfather of my grandson, Dustin. I just received a copy of his birth certificate today from England sent by researcher Valerie Henwood.

It says that he was born in 1854 in the counties of Surrey and Southampton on the 13 of February 1854. His parents were indeed:
Henry Henwood and Sarah Henwood nee Cooper. Henry was a carpenter.

This verifies what I had deducted as to who his father was, but without papers, wasn't 100% sure. Now I am. This takes us back to 1827.

With Valerie's help, I've gone back about 1739 to seven children. I have to work on who their parents were.

Atlanitc Model Haplogroup and Henwood Line

This is from Wikipedia.

You will see that only our DYS 390 differs in that we are a 23 instead of a 24.

In human genetics, the Atlantic Modal Haplotype (AMH) or haplotype 15 is a Y chromosome haplotype of Y-STR microsatellite variations, associated with the Haplogroup R1b. It was discovered prior to many of the SNPs now used to identify subclades of R1b and references to it can be found in some of the older literature. It corresponds most closely with subclade R1b1b2a1a [L11].
The AMH is the most frequently occurring haplotype amongst human males in Atlantic Europe. It is characterised by the following marker alleles:
DYS388 12
DYS390 24
DYS391 11
DYS392 13
DYS393 13
DYS394 14 (also known as DYS19)
A common haplotype within R1b is sometimes called the Atlantic Modal Haplotype, or haplotype 15. It reaches the highest frequencies in the Iberian Peninsula and in Great Britain and Ireland. In the Iberian Peninsula it reaches 70% in Portugal as a whole, more than 90% in NW Portugal and nearly 90% in Galicia (NW Spain), while the highest value is to be found among Spanish Basques. It was discovered prior to many of the SNPs now used to identify subclades of R1b and references to it can be found in some of the older literature. It corresponds most closely with subclade R1b1b2a1a [L11].
One mutation in either direction, would be AMH 1.15+. The AMH 1.15 set of haplotypes is also referred to as the Atlantic Modal Cluster or AMC. Often 1.15+ would be in the R1b1 subclade.

English/American Financial Transactions for Genealogy

I need to pay for the birth certificate of Henry Henwood b: 1827, so went to my bank to find out how to pay my Henwood friend in England for getting it for me.
I found out my bank doesn't do pay/pal. They wire money for a huge fee. It would cost me $50 to wire money to England, and then it would cost the person in England a big amount to receive it; the bank said about $20.
They said to just send a check and they can cash it at their bank. It's nice to know that another country can take a check.
The next thing is to compare the value of the English pound with the dollar, and that was sad. The pound /1 GBP (Great Britain Pound) =1.6725 USD (United States Dollars)
or
1USD=0.5979 GBP. One pound is almost double the value of the dollar.

Information On Henry Henwood b: 1827

Henry was a carpenter. He was born in February 1827 in Hantz, Basingstoke, Hampshire, Hartley Wintney, England to Henry Henwood and Sarah Goodchild. He married Sarah Cooper in 1848.

I found him on the censuses of 1841, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91 and 1901. by 1901 he was a widower living in the Basingstoke Union Workhouse with many other people of all ages. Below are my notes from my genealogy tree.

Civil parish: Hartley Wintney Ecclesiastical parish: St John Town: Hartley Wintney County/Island: Hampshire Country: England Registration district: Hartley Wintney Sub-registration district: Hartley Wintney 9/6/09

He was 87 or 88 when he died. On one report it said he died in Hartley Wintney, Berkshire, Hampshire, England. On the 1851 census of Kings Sombourn, Hampshire, I did find a Henry Henwood age 25 b: Hackbridge, Hampshire, listed as lodger. He was a pupil teacher at Keymaster School. The next person under him on the list was his nephew/scholar, James Brine age 7 b: 1844 in Blandford, Dorset, England. On the same page in the home next to him lived William Henwood b: 1818 and wife Caroline b: 1822 with children elizabeth b: 1843 age 8, Sarah b: 1844 age 7, Mary b: 1846 age 5, Ellen b: 1849 age 2 and Eliza b; 1850 age 1. I don't know if this is the right Henwood. The birth city is wrong. 9/7/09 familysearch LDS has parents wrong of Henry and Sarah. Christening correct date. Unless history repeats; his wife was Sarah.
I found a Henry Henwood b: 1806 age 55 on the 1861 census in Hampshire County. He was a servant working as a footman. I wonder if he could be the father of this Henry. He'd be the right age. He was born in Hampshire, too.

Basingstoke is a town in northeast Hampshire, England. It lies across a valley at the source of the River Loddon. It is 48 miles (77 km) southwest of London, 30 miles (48 km) northeast of Southampton, 16 miles (26 km) southwest of Reading, and 20 miles (32 km) northeast of the county town, Winchester. In 2006 it had an estimated population of 80,477. It is part of the borough of Basingstoke and Deane and part of the parliamentary constituency of Basingstoke. Basingstoke is often nicknamed "Doughnut City" due to the number of roundabouts.

Often mistaken for a new town, Basingstoke is an old market town expanded in the 1960s as part of a tripartite agreement between London County Council, Hampshire County Council and Basingstoke Borough Council. It was developed rapidly, along with Andover and Tadley, to accommodate part of the London 'overspill' as perceived under the Greater London Plan, 1944.[2]
Basingstoke market was mentioned in the Domesday Book and Basingstoke remained a small market town until the 1950s. It still has a regular market, but is now bigger than Hampshire County Council's definition of a market town

9/9/09 Not sure 1851 census is our Henry. He's 25 and living with Robert Russell and wife Sarah and next door is William (Harewood) Henwood b: 1818 age 31 b: Kingsbourne, Hampshire with wife Caroline 29 b: 1822 in Tytherley, Hampshire, children Elizabeth 8 b: 1843, Sarah 7 b: 1844, Mary 5 b: 1846 Kingsbourn, Ellen 2 b: 1849 Kingsbourn, and Eliza 1 b: 1850 Kingsornbourn. This Henry is a teacher, and unless he was teaching carpentry, is not the right person.

I'm now awaiting the birth certificate to arrive from England sent by Valerie. It is a match with her Henwood family. Henry was the kingpin.

One More DNA Match-Barely

I just checked again and found someone who has had the 67 allele test, but is a fair match. This is not a Henwood but a Wyatt. It would take a 66.71% possibility to go 24 generations to find a common ancestor for both. This is not very high. The other match was not listed, this time. I was surprised. He has the distance of 1 and is on the Hampshire, England Project along with our Henwood dna test of 12 alleles.

After checking out matches with the entire familytreedna, I found that we had a match with 996 others through the Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype. I decided it's better to follow the Hampshire, England group as that's where our ancestors came from, so decided to just keep that one and the other group.

We are actually related to everyone if we go back far enough, and need higher allele testing to start finding a real match. If I found another Henwood who was a match at 12 alleles, then both of us should go higher to find out how far apart we are on our tree.

Soon to Arrive: Birth Certificate of Henry Henwood b: 1827 England

I just heard from http://www.tangledwoodresearch.co.uk's Valerie that the long awaited birth certificate had arrived to her home and she will pass the original onto me.
She is sending me the tree that connects our Henwood ancestors with hers and takes us back to the early 1500's!

Bless England's fantastic ability to keep birth certificates and records that stretch so far back! Valerie is one of the people who have worked with them, and therefore knew just how to procure them and probably why she has such a great genealogy record.

Henwoods, this is great news.

What Are Haplogroups? R1b in Europe

Haplogroups=R1b in Men (Common in Europe)

There are 19 major haplogroups found in males. R1b is the most common haplogroup in Europe. It is believed to have expanded into and recolonized Europe 10,000 to 12,000 years ago after the last glacial maximum or ice age.There is the Out of Africa theory that says that all modern humans evolved in Africa and then emigrated in several waves over the last 100,000 years. They replaced earlier homo species.

Scientists use the capitol letters of the alphabet to name the haplogroups.A and B are in Africa today and are the oldest haplogroups. B is in all parts of Africa but more common in the pygmy tribe.CR is a superhaplogroup (includes D-R and their common ancestor is named with a M168 mutation that was carried in 3 migrations into other parts of the world by some people while others stayed behind. C is found in Asia, the South Pacific, and in some Native American people.

In Haplogroups D and E, found in Africa and SE Asia, we have some mutations.In Haplogroups F-Q we see some mutations like M89, M213, and P14 in all areas of the world.R1b was formed from a group that emigrated from Africa 50,000 years ago, eventually settling in Europe in the last 30,000 years.

In my family I have two males that both belong to R1b1b2, but they are of different lines. Both trace their families back to the British Isles, and one for sure from England proper, basically in Hampshire County.

How Many Ancestors in England? Year 1086 in England=2 million

It is a sobering thought that if we go back just 10 generations, each of us will have 1,204 ancestors. That's going back about 250 years, or to the year 1759.

If we could trace our pedigrees back 20 generations we would all have 1,048,575 ancestors:http://www.familyforest.com/resources.htmlIn practice however we do not all have 1,048,575 unique ancestors and many of our lines will be inter-related through close cousin marriages.

Ultimately we are all related to each other probably many times over. This concept has been called "pedigree collapse" or the "ancestor paradox"

:http://www.bpears.org.uk/Misc/AncestorParadox/http://www.generations.on.ca/genealogy/pedigree.htmhttp://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~fettesi/unique.htmI don't know if figures are available for other countries but it is possible to come up with rough estimates for the population of England from the eleventh century onwards.

At the time of the Domesday Book in 1086 the population of England was estimated to be around one and a half to two million people:http://www.domesdaybook.co.uk/life.htmlIn 1348 the Black Death arrived in England and is believed to have killed over 50% of the population:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death_in_EnglandThis page has figures for the population of Great Britain and Ireland from 1570 to 1931:http://homepage.ntlworld.com/hitch/gendocs/pop.html

The mathematics is beyond me but presumably it would be possible to do some sort of estimate as to how many ancestors we can all be expected to have in common. What effect do these complicated inter-relationships have on the inheritance of autosomal DNA?

Found: DNA Match for 12 Alleles

We have one match from familytreedna for the Henwood Ydna test.

Surprisingly, the fellow is a Hopwood. This surname is so close to Henwood, that it makes one wonder about the development of the surnames. Hopefully we will hear from him after sending an email today and might find out how these two lines connect.

They have a 91.41% of sharing a common ancestor if they go back about 600 years. Since Henwood fits the bill of the Atlantic Model Haplotype, we find that this is a very popular line.

Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype

Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype

from Family Tree DNA

Your DNA signature for your Surname "Henwood" is 1 point away from the Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype the most common Y-DNA signature of Europe’s most common Haplogroup, R1b1b2. Simply put your ancestors have experienced a dramatic population explosion over the past 10,000 years, probably since the end of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM-that’s Anthropology-speak for the last Ice Age) that covered most of Europe beginning 20,000 years ago and lasting for 10,000 long cold winters.R1b, and its most common Haplotypes (yours), exists in high or very high frequencies in all of Western Europe from Spain in the south to the British Isles and western Scandinavia in the north. It appears that approximately 1.25 % of Western European males share this strikingly common genetic 12 marker signature and because of its very high frequency we always suggest that for genealogy purposes people in this group should only use our 25 or 37 marker test for their genealogy.Anthropologists have been describing for many years that only a select % of all the males in past societies did the vast majority of fathering, while other males lost the opportunity to pass on their Y-Chromosomal genes.On a lighter note it is clear that R1b’s Western Atlantic Modal Haplotype has contributed much more than its ‘fair share’ in populating Western Europe.

Henwoods on Facebook

There are over 500 Henwoods listed on Facebook. It would be interesting if they were all related. Being that there is a village in Cornwall, England called "Henwood", it could be that the citizens took on the name as their surname. They could have started as a family unit that became a tribal unit, and then a village with some unrelated people living there that also took the surname. DNA would answer that question.



Think of how many Henwoods there are that are not on facebook. It's quite a popular name.
There are 3,687,503 entries of Henwood on www.ancestry.com. I see that Henwood has been in the USA for a long time, even back in Indian wars.

Move over, Smith and Jones. Henwood is a popular name, also.

We Fit Atlantic Modal Haplotype

DYS markers 19, 389-1, 389-2, 391, 392 and 393 are the definition of the Atlantic Modal Haplotype, except for ourDYS 390 which is 23 instead of the 24. Most of the people in the Sinclair project fall within a one-step mutation of these markers. Note that this chart shows DYS390=24. This is precisely on the AMH, but the folks who found this Haplogroup decided to allow someone to be off by one or two markers and still say they're part of the AMH. Those days are numbered as there are so many SNPs now being found downstream of this Haplogroup.
When you couple our DYS390 values with other particular markers, we can compare ourselves to some interesting studies that have been conducted throughout Europe. Our DYS19 values are overwhelmingly 14 with a few 13's and 15's. Our DYS392 values are overwhelmingly 13's with a few interesting 11's and 14's. These are all quite deviant from the AMH norm, but are still classified as R1b.

Our Henwood DYS 19=14
DYS 389-1=13
DYS 389-2=29
DYS 390=23 instead of 24.
DYS 391=11
DYS 392=13
DYS 393=13

DYS 390 may show that this line came from original people of Britain, the Celtic natives, but more likely it is showing they came from Anglo Saxons and Danes in Denmark. Also they could have come from the northern coast of the Netherlands or Western and Northern Germany.

Dutch Jews with R1b1b2

Dutch Sephardic Jews with R1b1b2 haplogroup - DNA Forums - Bennett Greenspan (of FTDNA) said that there was a small population of Dutch Sephardi from the R1b1b2 haplogroup.

I had wondered if Henwood could be one of these people, but I need to have a much deeper test done to find out. Hen is a surname with Sephardic Jews in Spain. Wood was a surname found in Holland. In the Spanish tradition, surnames are combined when marriage takes place for the female. Thus, Henwood could be created from two families.

R1b1b2 to Ireland

20,000-30,000 years ago the most prevalent subclade was R1b .
18,000 years ago Europe was covered with ice from the last ice age.
Humans moved down south to Portugal and Spain.
About 14,000 -10,000 years ago they moved from Spain to England and Ireland.

Test Results of DNA In

The test results of dna have arrived. This Henwood line is an R1b1b2 haplogroup.
The test was only on 12 alleles, but so far we have no matches to warrent going further at this point.

DYS 393 was the usual 13. The interesting thing is that our Robinson line of Mildred E. Robinson, grandmother of the Henwood tested, was also R1b1b2. However, they had a DYS 393 of 12, which is very rare. This is the first allele tested on the familytreedna test. The 2nd allele, DYS 390 on Henwood was a 23 whereas on our Robinson it was 21. Otherwise, the rest of the alleles were exactly the same. Robinson's history was that they came over not on the Mayflower but the next ship. Where I thought they came from England, it's looking more like Ireland all the time, or possibly even Wales.

Several others on my list were also found to be R1b1b2, and very close to this Henwood.

As to finding matches in the world, an interesting but expected result was as follows.
1. 376 matches were from England out of 19,456 tested. This is a 1.9%. This Henwood's grandparents were both from England. A surprise is that 9 matches were from Belgium out of 429 making it a 2.1%. Denmark had 12 matches out of 684 with a 1.8%. Germany had 166 out of 9,824 with 1.7%. The Netherlands had 29 matches out of 1,364 with a 2.1%. (My initial theory was that a Hen had married a Wood that was in the Netherlands. Then I had found the Henwood Village in Cornwall, England, but this line seems to not be from that group. )

Now we'll sit back and see if any further matches come up through familytreedna. We'll be notified. I'm hoping that some Henwoods will get involved and get tested.

Birth Certificate of Henry Henwood b: 1827 England

Valerie, researcher in England of the surname Henwood and others, checked out Henry Henwood's information first before sending for a birth certificate.
"I didn't apply for it straightaway as I did some census and other records checks to make sure this would be the right Charles, so once I was satisfied I applied, afraid it is just a case of waiting now"
I'm so glad she did. I could have been running up a dead end. I just hope they can find the certificate being it's so old. He was born in 1827 in Hartley Wintney, /Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. The man died December 1914 in the same location. I wonder if this wasn't the start of the flu epidemic.

Henwoods from Surrey County, England

Since our Charles Ernest and his father, Charles were born in Surrey County, which is right next door to Hampshire County, I thought I'd take a look at who was from there. I did find a family and it could have been related to our Henwoods.

Tribal Britain in First Century in Hampshire County

Atrebates

This is another British tribe that shares a name with a tribe in pre-Roman France. They were the second most powerful group in southern Britain at the time of the Roman Conquest, they issued and used coins, and had many contacts with France.
They probably consisted of a group of tribes ruled by a single dynasty, their territory originally stretched from what is today West Sussex, Hampshire and Berkshire.

From about 15 BC, the Atrebates seem to have established friendly relations with Rome, and it was an appeal for help from the last Atrebatic king, Verica, which provided Claudius with the pretext for the invasion on Britain in AD 43. After the Roman Conquest, the territory of the Atrebates was divided up, with Silchester (Calleva Atrebatum) becoming the capital of a Roman civitas that administered the area of modern Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Surrey and north Hampshire.
The name Atrebates means 'settlers' or 'inhabitants'.

Bluehenge Find from 5,000 Years Ago Near Hampshire

Stonehenge is only 90 miles west of London in the county of Wiltshire which is next door to our Hampshire County. Now archaeologists have found a "Bluehenge" which is only 80 miles SW from London and about a mile away from Stonehenge. This dates back 5,000 years and was another circle formation with stones. It is believed it was part of the rituals of life and death. The stones have now disappeared over the centuries but the indentations remain from 27 stones.
Since it's fairly close to Hampshire County where I have found many Henwoods, it makes me wonder just how long the ancestors have inhabited the area. This circle would date back to about 3,000 BCE.

I might mention that through dna we find that haplogroup P came from the Middle East and out of P arose Q and R. There are many R's in England and I'm betting that Henwood is some sort of R, too. Now we'll have to figure out just when they entered Britain and who was here before them if anyone.

Going way back, what were the people like there? We can, however, say that biologically they were part of the Caucasoid population of Europe. The regional physical stereotypes familiar to us today, a pattern widely thought to result from the post-Roman Anglo-Saxon and Viking invasions - red-headed people in Scotland, small, dark-haired folk in Wales and lanky blondes in southern England - already existed in Roman times. Insofar as they represent reality, they perhaps attest the post-Ice Age peopling of Britain, or the first farmers of 6,000 years ago.

The Neolithic and Bronze Age goes back to 834 BCE. The Iron Age started about 728 BCE. Finally the Romans entered Britain in 49 ACE. So Stonehenge and Bluehenge occurred in the middle of the Iron Age.

Europe 45,000 Years Ago to More Recent Times Only 7,500 Years Ago

Humans arrived in Europe 45,000 years ago and replaced the Neandertals-Neanderthals. There were lots of climate changes from then on including the last ice-age.

Before the last ice age 11,000 years ago people survived by hunting and gathering in Europe. The idea of farming came from the Near East over the last 9,000 years. Modern Europeans are not evolved from these people as far as dna is showing.

Skeletons have been tested for their dna. The first farmers probably migrated into central and eastern Europe about 7,500 years ago. They brought domesticated plants and animals with them. 82% of mtDNA found in the hunter-gatherers are rare in central Europeans today.

The Carpathian Basin has been identified as the origin for early Central European farmers. Farmers of the Linearbandkeramik culture immigrated from "modern-day Hungary about 7,5000 years ago into Central Europe but didn't mix in with the local hunter gatherers. They had cultural contacts but didn't mix in with the women.

Before Anglo Saxons in England

In the 4th Century BC the Greeks and Phoenicians and Carthaginians traded in Britain for Cornish tin. Islands near the west coast of Europe were called the Cassiterides or Tin Islands.

Julius Caesar went to Britain in 55 BC and the next year in 54BC. Rome controlled the island from 43BC to 410AD and called it Britannia. Before this period was the Iron Age in Britain where the tribes of Britain were connected with the continent of Europe as well in trade. Three legions of Romans were stationed in Britain in 125AD.

Caesar's second invasion consisted of a larger force the than first one. They met Celtic tribes who had to pay him tribute and give the Romans hostages in order to have peace.

The southern part of Britain had two kingdoms. The first one was called Catuvellaune made up of the descendents of Tasciouvanus. The second one was called Atrebates, made up of the descendants of Commius.

This leads me to think that there could be quite a mixture of dna in Britain, though 80% of Western Europe is made up of R1b1b2 alleles. In fact, most of Ireland is made up of R1b1b2. This particular line is fairly new, dating back only 5,000 to 8,000 years ago. It may have existed before the last ice age, or it could be even younger. People living here could be from the Celtic two tribes, the Romans, Phoenicians, Greeks or Cartheneginians. Anglo Saxons or Normans.

"The name Celt originated with the ancient Greeks, who called the barbarian peoples of central Europe Keltoi.

3,4000 years ago the Celtics inhabited land found in southern Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Hungary. Today they are found in Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Cornwall, Cumbria and Brittany.
We find the Celtic people about 2,7000 years ago in southern Europe of Indo-Aryan stock. Their blood type is found to be O.

They had their own religious beliefs. Their rites were in honor of Lugh. After the Celts came the Druids, then the Romans and finally the Celtic Christian Church.

There were the lowland Celts found along the Danube River in Germany and the True Celts who followed the Rhine River. This second group was in the Balkans and Carpathians in the 6th Century BC. They crossed Europe fighting. They loved to fight. They sacked Rome and the Delphi. They then went into the British Isles and inhabited it. They were classier than the lowland Celts in that they buried their dead.

"The Celts were a very clean people, using soap long before the Romans did. The Celtic men and women of Britain sometimes wore swirling blue tattoos or paintings on their bodies. All Celts played lyres and harps, loved song, music, and recitation of legends and epic adventures".

Who Lived in England?

A treasure of gold objects was just found in England. This discovery gives me a little background of the history of England.

"One expert said the treasure found by 55-year-old Terry Herbert would revolutionize understanding of the Anglo-Saxons, a Germanic people who ruled England from the fifth century until the Norman conquest in 1066. Another said the find would rank among Britain's best-known historic treasures." It looks like they were in power for about 500 years, then.

Anglo-Saxons (or Anglo-Saxon) is the term usually used to describe the invading tribes in the south and east of Great Britain from the early 5th century AD, and their creation of the English nation, to the Norman conquest of 1066.[1] The Benedictine monk, Bede, identified them as the descendants of three Germanic tribes: [2]
The Angles, who may have come from Angeln, and Bede wrote that their whole nation came to Britain, [3] leaving their former land empty. The name 'England' or 'Aenglaland' originates from this tribe. [4]
The Saxons, from Lower Saxony (German: Niedersachsen, Germany)
The Jutes, from the Jutland peninsula.

From the Wikipedia comes further information on the Normans. "The Norman conquest of England or 'The Conquest' began in 1066 with the invasion of the Kingdom of England by the troops of William, Duke of Normandy ('William the Conqueror' or 'William the Bastard'), and his victory at the Battle of Hastings. This resulted in Norman control of England, which was firmly established during the next few years. The Norman Conquest was a pivotal event in English history for several reasons. It largely removed the native ruling class, replacing it with a foreign, French-speaking monarchy, aristocracy, and clerical hierarchy. This in turn brought about a transformation of the English language and the culture of England."

Where was Normandy? Normandy (French: Normandie, Norman: Normaundie) is a geographical region corresponding to the former Duchy of Normandy. It is situated along the English Channel coast of Northern France between Brittany (to the west) and Picardy (to the east) and comprises territory in northern France and the Channel Islands.

To sum this up, dna can be from the Anglo Saxon Germans to the French in the English people. We'll so find out what our Henwood family shows for its beginnings.

Where Are Descendants of Henwood in England ?

I found over 200 Henwoods listed in the telephone books in England dating from 1880 to 1984. All were living in parts of London. I did find a Ben Henwood in the 1908-1909 book in Portsmouth, Hampshire on Florence Road in a southern part of the town. He was a bootmaker. Interestingly, I found a Miss Henwood in the town of Bridge listed in the Tunbridge Wells area. The phone book listed her thusly: Wadhurst 36 Oakwood. My census records only go a recently as 1901, so this goes much further. All these listings are found on http://www.ancestry.com/

Henwood in England & Wales Criminal Registers

This is a source unknown to me as I haven't found anything like it in the United States so far.
Records from the court systems go way back in England. As I originally was surfing for Henry b: 1827, I started with him, but found so many others.

1. Henry Henwood: trial on 18 February 1869 in Reading, Berkshire, imprisonment, crime ws fraud, punishment was 3 months with hard labor.

2. Henry Henwood: trial 29 July 1871 in Cornwall, acquittal for some counterfeit coin.
3. Henry Henwood: trial 1 March 1880 in St Mary, Newington, Surrey, England, This county is next door to Hampshire, crime was warehouse breaking and larceny after a previous conviction of felony, punishment was 12 months imprisonment and hard labor.
4. Harriet Henwood nee Jewell b: 1807, trial 14 October 1839 in Hampshire, age 32, acquittal, County of Southampton, accused of larceny.

19. Charles Henwood trial 2 March 1865 in Hampshire County, Southampton in Castle of Winchester, aquittal of larceny.
20. Charles Henwood trial 19 October 1868 in Hampshire, aquittal.
21. Eliza Henwood trial 3 July 1869 in Devon, acquittal.

There were other Henwoods listed. I just got tired writing them all down. One good thing about this listing is the birthdates given on some and the place the trial happened. This gives us information besides knowing they were accused or even did crimes. All records looked at were in beautiful cursive writing.

I found five Henry Henwoods for our tree so far. They were born in 1803, 1827 in Hantz, Basingstoke, Hampshire, Hartley Wintney, 1852 in Basingstoke, Berkshire, Hampshire, Hartley Wintney, 1880 in Portsea Island, Hampshire and 1895 in Hartley Wintney, Hampshire.
I found three Charles Henwoods for our tree so far. They were born in 1830 in Basingstoke, Hampshire, 1854 in Surrey and 1897 in Winchfield, Hartley Wintney Row, County of Hampshire.

Haplogroups Found in Hampshire County, England and other Facts

I did a search and found that E1b1b1 Haplogroup was found in Hampshire. Others found there have been G, II (don't know what this is), I, and J. We'll see what our Henwood line turns out to be in about a month or so. I found that there is a Hampshire Group at http://www.familytreedna/. There are many groups of interest. I found the surname Shirley doing a dna study of their surname where they have found people all over in England. I believe from Shirley they found an R1b1 which was mentioned that it was ancient and went back to 1650. The Pike surname study is big. They are reporting R1a for many of their participants. http://www.math.mun.ca/~dapike/family_history/pike/DNA/index.php?content=results.html#Group1

Go to the next address of National Trust to see a map of where Henwood has been found in England and other interesting facts. http://www.nationaltrustnames.org.uk/Map.aspx?name=HENWOOD&year=1998&altyear=1881&country=GB&type=name One graph shows that the ethnicity for Henwood in England is 99.54% British and 0.38% Welsh with a few dabs from some other exotic places. That tells me that we've had Henwoods travel around perhaps in business and have managed to have a few children there.

Someone mentioned that the Vikings were in Southern England (where Hampshire and Cornwall are located) so they might find I there, which they have. However, again another post mentioned that Vikings were also found in Northern England.

If we had a lot of questions about our dna, here is an address to help decide what further tests can be done and what they would show. It's from the Phillips surname site from that's done through familytreedna. http://www.phillipsdnaproject.com/the-phillips-dna-project-news/300-09212009-maxing-out-your-markers-at-ftdna They had many many who all turned out to be R1b1b2 haplogroup.

I found that the Royal Naval Museum was in Portsmouth, and that's one of the places I have found Henwood. If anyone goes to England, they'll have a great time besides doing searches.

Then I found Cyndi's List for Hampshire County, England and there she has listed a place to order certificates. The address is: http://www.cyndislist.com/eng-ham.htm. She covers all sorts of information.

DNA Test Received in Houston

I received notice today that the dna sample from our Henwood male is now in the lab in Houston, at Family Tree dna. They said it would take about 3 weeks for results if the processing shows good results the first time. If not it goes back to the lab and so it might take from 3 to 5 weeks for the tests to be completed. About 85% of tests on the first run are successful.

I know that my mother's father's family of Robinson came from England originally in about 1630 or so according to family oral history. Henwood is also from England, so I'm going to bet myself that the results of Henwood could also be R1b1b2, but I could be so wrong. I don't know what the haplogroups are that have been found in England, so this will be most interesting.

A report states that R1b1b2 arose around 5,000 to 8,000 years ago. So far we've only had 2 exact matches on our 12 alleles out of 19,201 people tested and 3 out of the United Kingdom out of 8,550 people tested that listed just the UK.

Pallot's Marriage Index for England

All the following list happened in Parishes in Hampshire County, England. Finally I have a marriage source listing both participants and the year of the blessed event.

1. Ann Henwood married William Chapel in 1796 in Basingstock Parish.
I do have an Ann Henwood but she was born in 1833 in Basingstoke.

2. Giles Henwood married Ann Faull in 1791 in Alverstoke Parish.
3. George Henwood married Jane Caesar in 1805 in Heckfield Hants 6 Parish.
I have two George Henwoods. One was born in 1861 and the other in 1889.

4. Mary Henwood married Edward Kent in 1801 in Crondall Parish.
I have a Mary born in 1901.

5. Elizabeth Henwood married Martin Gage in 1780 in Southwark Parish.
6. Samuel Henwood married Amy Pearce in 1801 in Bradfield Parish.

Evidently there are other Henwoods in Hampshire County who are not listed on my tree--as yet.

Fantastic Henwood Researcher in England

I'm as pleased as punch to have found a fantastic Henwood researcher in England. Valerie, also a grandmother, who has had access to first hand information and knows how to dig out information. I haven't run across many people in this position myself in genealogy. Most of my information other than first hand from the family comes from www.ancestry.com. For me it's been a matter of patience and searching techniques there. Sometimes just typing in the name of a child brings up a census with parents whereas typing the parent's name did nothing. You never know what combination helps to hit the jackpot with computers.

As she told me, "Hi
All the Henwood info relating to my line is taken from original parishes records and census returns when I worked at Hampshire County Libraries in the '70s, The list of children are all from baptismal entries in the register, obviously there is no entry for Charles, if he was born in Farnham, I have also personally transcribed a lot of records myself for Hants Gen Soc., which includes parts of the 1851 census. so a lot of the info i have is first hand, however I still say that to be absolutely sure of parentage then you should apply for Charles' birth certificate. "

She is going to send for the birth certificate which is something I do not know how to do from the states. That will formally connect our two lines, though by searching England for Henwood she did find Charles in Farnham. She wondered why he was born there. I'm supposing that people moved for jobs the same way they do here today.

Besides finding people on the tree, one outcome that's so exciting is meeting such nice people in your research and finding that they're related to your family. Another is finding all the similarities and interests that you share and knowing that dna can find its way to many people on your line. It's a great hobby.

New Henwood Additions

If I have connected our Charles Henwood to his father correctly, I have found new ancestors for our tree. From a new researcher in the UK, I have more information and hope it is part of our family. This takes us back two more generations. The names in red below were known to me. My findings come from the new Henwood researcher and from the census in the UK.

In about 2 months we will have the results of a Ydna test. If there are any other Henwoods out there that have been tested, we will find out it we indeed are connected.

Contact! A Henwood from Hampshire County, England

Valerie Henwood just contacted me from the UK. She has ancestors that go back to the 1500's in Hampshire County, England. She has a website: http://www.tangledwoodresearch.co.uk/.

On the website she cited a John born in 1538 in Medstead, Hampshire and who died in 1501. He married Anne, born in 1840 and died on 18 February, 1585. She had a whole page more of information that I need to check out.

Her daughter is an artist and my grandson is an artist. My grandson's art genes we thought were from both his grandmothers, but perhaps a Henwood gene for art slipped in, too. One of her ancestors, Reginald John William Henwood born in 1898, looks very similar to our Charles Ernest Henwood born about the same time. I can see a family resemblance.

Medstead is a town or village that I haven't run across as yet. I need to check as to where that is and what it is close to.

Thanks to internet, we certainly can get closer to finding ancestors in genealogy. So happy she contacted me.
PS: 11:21 am I'm so very glad. She just found information on Henry Henwood b: 1827. His wife Sarah Unknown is really Sarah Cooper and she has their wedding date: June 1848. I had guessed at 1847. My file is already full of Coopers. Queenie Dorothy Henwood who married Charles Ernest Henwood had Coopers in her Disney family. Like the States, there were only so many families to choose spouses from, so way back we can see families intertwine.

Poor Henry Henwood b: 1827 in Workhouse

Our relative, Henry Henwood, at the age of 74 found himself widowed and in the workhouse on the 1901 census in Basingstoke, Hampshire County, England. This man who was a carpenter all his life was found there with lots of other people of all ages. It was listed as the Basingstoke union Workhouse. It was built in 1836. It was regarded with trepidation by many in the locality once. This large building was one of many erected in Britain at that time to provide employment and shelter for poor people. I'm surprised that this man who had seven children was not taken in the home of one of them to live out his remaining years.

His grandson, Charles Ernest, died at the age of 87 years 7 months and 4 days in California, USA. He produced a doctor, who produced a nurse who produced a future veterinarian. To think that the youngest, a graduate student's 3rd great grandfather was in the poorhouse or workhouse shows that intelligence and genes had nothing to do with Henry's fate. The history of the era shaped his final days. According to census information, he worked constantly as a carpenter. Perhaps he found work building onto this workhouse, also.

An 1834 Poor Law Amendment Acts said that anyone seeking assistance would enter a workhouse. Those that did found themselves being treated in an inhumane way. At one time it held 450 people who were inmates. It was run by a master and matron who kept record books that any incidents were recorded. In June 1877 an inmate started a fire that damaged part of the building.

From a report in 1867 of the Commissioners in Lunacy, Workhouses were visited. They listed the names and numbers of insane, idiotic and imbecile inmates. Poor Henry must have not enjoyed his fellow neighbors here. His wife Sarah had died around 1901 so he was just newly widowed when he was found there. He could have been emotionally depressed from her death.

They added another building in 1898 to the grounds of the workhouse which was a hospital for elderly people built to ease the pressure on the Cottage Hospital built in 1879 on Hackwood Road. When anyone was told that they were going to Basing Road where the workhouse was situated, they automatically thought that they were headed for the dreaded building.

Henry died in December of 1914 at the age of 87, the same age as his grandson Charles Ernest.

In 1929 the Local Government Act abolished the Workhouse Board of Guardians and its functions, but the building remained until the end of the 1960's when it was demolished.

1500's-1600's Henwood Baptisms in Hampshire County, England

I was amazed to find baptismal records on ancestry going back to the 1500's in Hampshire.

Charles Ernest Henwood 1897-1984, Landscape Architect

Charles became a gardener on large estates in the states. He lived in Canada, both Vancouver and Victoria as well as the states of Washington and California.

Here is a picture of the home of Christopher Lloyd, a renown British landscape architect in Northiam, E. Sussex, England. The picture is a postcard taken by the photographer, Neil Jinkerson. Charles's granddaughter visited this home when on vacation in England. She's following in her grandfather's footsteps as she's very knowledgeable about landscaping and gardening. There's hardly a plant that she doesn't know the proper name and how it should be grown. E. Sussex is on the SE coast of England, next door to West Sussex which is the neighbor of Hampshire, the center of the Henwood family. The estate homes are probably very similar.

Winchfield, A Small Village in Hampshire, England

Winchfield is a small village in the Hart District of Hampshire in the South-East of England. It is situated 1 mile south-west of Hartley Wintney, 8 miles east of Basingstoke, 2 miles north-east of Odiham and 38 miles west of London. It is well connected to London Waterloo and Basingstoke by rail.

I've been so confused by the place names of these Henwood's birth places. So often there is more than a city and a county. Everything seems to be so close to each other. It must all run together.

This is an important village because this is where (supposedly) my children's grandfather Henwood was born. Many of his people came from Hampshire County.

Henry Henwood 1851 Census Questionable

This is a follow up of previous entry on 1851 census where I found a 43 year old Henry Henwood. Again, I don't think this is our Henry.

There was only one Henry Henwood that came up for 1851 on a census this time on ancestry.com. It was in the Parish of Kings Sornbourn, Hampshire, England. I'm seeking Henry Henwood b: 1827 born in Hantz, Basingstoke, Hampshire, Hartley Wintney, England
PS: He has just been identified by researcher Valerie to be one of her Henwoods. Also, she identified Henry of Stockbridge who was the footman on the 1851 census turns out to be on her tree.

Henry Henwood age 25, b: abt 1826 in Hackbridge, Hampshire. (That's why I question.) Lodger, and pupil teacher at Keymaster School. This is why it couldn't be our Henry. Ours was a carpenter, not a teacher. Unless he was teaching only carpentry work, it's most doubtful.
Living with:
Robert Russell 33, agricultural laborer, and wife Sarah 29 and children James Brine, nephew of Robert age 7 and Henry Greathursh 9, lodger.

Next door lived the Henwoods, (spelled Harewood by person typing)
William Henwood 31 b 1818 in Kingsornbourn-agricultural laborer
Caroline, wife, age 29 b: 1822 in E. Tytherley, Hampshire
Elizabeth Henwood 8, b: 1843 in E. Tytherley
Sarah Henwood 7 b: 1844 in E. Tytherley
Mary Henwood 5, b: 1846 in Kingsournbourn -typist changed to Henwood here.
Ellen Henwood 2 b: 1849 in Kingsournbourn
Eliza Henwood 1 b 1850 in Kingsournbourn

This could be my Henry and perhaps Mr. Robert Russell gave the census taker the information and guessed at his birth-town. This could be the home of a cousin or even a brother, as I don't know who our Henry's parents and family were.

Henwoods All Over Hampshire in 1901

Henry Henwood b: 1887 in Bursledon, Hampshire, age 14 #4 on my list was living in Hound, Hampshire with his parents:
Charles Henwood age 50 b: Wilk, Wilton, coachman, gardener and domestic and his wife Frances, age 46 b: London Mangbbone who was a laundress who washed for people, and their children: Albert 16, Henry 14 and Daisy 12. I don't think they are connected except the name Charles is in our family.

Possible Cousin of Henry Henwood 1901 Census of Portsmouth, Hampshire, England

#3 on my list below is Henry Henwood born 1855 age 46, a bricklayer.
I found him on ancestry born in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England. He was married with wife Marria age 47 and children Alice 21, Tessia 19 and Louise 14.
Our Henry Walter Henwood was also there at the same time and on the 1901 census. He was only 21 and working as the clothier's assistant. I wonder how many people were living in Portsmouth then? Surely they knew each other.

1901 Census in England-Looking for Henwood

There were 1,447 Henwoods in England.
In Hampshire County there were now 156.
Out of those, 11 were Henry Henwood.

1. Henry W. age 49 b: 1852 was a carpenter and joiner. He's on our tree.
2. Henry W. age 21 b: 1880 was a clothier; an outfitters assistant. He's the son.
3. Henry age 46 b: 1855 was a bricklayer.
4. Henry age 14 b: 1887 was a son living with parents and was a grocer porter.
5. Henry age 74 b: 1827 was a carpenter and is on our tree. He's the first one.
I found him on www.ancestry.com living in the Basingstoke Union workhouse with hundreds of other people of all ages. He was now a recent widower, retired and probably unable to work as was 74. Record said he was born in Mortimer West End, Hampshire, Basing-.
6. Henry age 5 was born in 1896.
7. Henry age 37 b: 1864 was a general labourer. I found him on ancestry living in Basingstoke with wife Sarah 37 with children Henry J #8, Sarah F age 2 and Leonard age 1. Living with them was David Tubb 69. I could not get into the original census for more info. They were not on the list that came up.
8. Henry J age 12 was born 1889. Name: Henry James Henwood (England & Wales Birth Index). b: Basingstoke, Berkshire, Hampshire, England.
9. Henry age 74 b: 1827 was a retired agricultural labourer.
10. Henry age 30 b: 1871 was a bricklayer labourer.
11. Henry age 71 b: 1830 lived in a home as the father in law. He was a house carpenter.

I had not found Henry b: 1827, the carpenter, on ancestry's 1901 English census. Now I've found two on this site. I'll have to go back and look again.

I have found a Christening dated February 11, 1827 in Basinstoke, Hampshire, England for our Henry. Now finding two born in the same year makes me wonder if it's the right one, or if the site listed this information twice off the census. Hope I find it on another.

1891 census in England

There were 1,386 Henwoods in England in 1891.
In Hampshire County there were 114 listed.
There were only 3 Henry Henwoods in Hampshire.

1. Henry age 23 b: 1868 was a painter. I take it that means a house painter.
2. Henry age 77 b: 1814 was not working. I can understand that very well.
3. Henry age 64 b: 1827 was a carpenter and our first Henry Henwood on the tree.

I found others on ancestry. I found #8 Henry J that is on my 1901 census here on the 1891.
4. Henry J Henwood b: 1889 age 2 living with parents: Name is: Henry James Henwood. Listed on England & Wales Birth Index b: Basingstoke, Berkshire, Hampshire, England.
5. Henry Henwood b: 1862 in Hauts Basingstoke age 29, bricklayer and laborer with wife Sarah F 27 b: 1864 London Lambelt, with children Henry J and Elizabeth V . Also living with them were other children: Alice Barkham 10, scholar, Mary Barkham 7 and Hariett Barkham 3.
This shows it's good to check more than one source.

1881 Census Searching Henwood in England

On the 1881 census there were 1,293 Henwoods in England.
In the county of Hampshire there were 119.
Out of those living in Hampshire, there were 6 Henry Henwoods.

1. Henry W age 29 b: 1852 was a carpenter. He's ours. It checks with ancestry.com
2. Henry W age 1 b: 1880 was his son.
3. Henry age 28 b: 1853 was a bricklayer.
4. Henry D. age 8 b: 1873 was a scholar.
5. Henry age 65 b: 1816 was still an agricultural labourer.
6. Henry age 55 b: 1826 was a carpenter. He's our first Henry on the tree. I have him listed as born in 1827.

1871 Census in England

I found that there were 1,217 Henwoods on the 1871 census in all of England
In the county of Hampshire there were 112.
Out of those there were 33 Henry Henwoods living in Hampshire.

I found that this fellow was born in 1824, three years before my Henry Henwood. He was living with his father and was a bricklayer apprentice at the age of 47. He must have decided to change professions then.

1851 Census in England

There were 1,028 Henwoods listed on this new site for 1851 on the census.
76 Henwoods lived in Hampshire. Out of them, 30 were Henry Henwood.

I checked on a Henry born 1808 and was 43 years old. He was a servant working as a footman. I found him again on the 1861 census but the information was off a few years. This shows how you must be flexible with dates a little and how professions matter as well as places born and living in.
PS: Wednesday 9/16/09 at 11:25am. I was just contacted by researcher Valerie that this Henry Henwood belongs to her family as well as the other listing at King Souborne.

1861 Census in Hampshire, England

There were 74 Henwoods found in Hampshire County, England in 1861. All together there were 1,150 Henwoods listed in England on this new site. Out of the Hampshire Henwoods only 4 were Henry.


The county's name, Hampshire, derives from the city of Southampton, which was formerly called "Hamtun."
Also known as Southamptonshire, Hants.
Former and merged names include:· Hamtonshire

One interesting Henry was born in 1806 in Hampshire and was 55 years old still living there. He was a servant working as a footman. He could very well be the father of our Henry born 1827.

I found our Henry Henwood. He was listed as born 1828 and was 33 years old. He was a carpenter. This is exactly what I had found on www. ancestry.com.

I found Henry's son, Henry, who I have found on ancestry.com to be Henry Walter. He was listed as 7 years sold and born in 1854. He was a scholar.

The last Henry found was 45 years old and was born in 1816. He was an agricultural labourer. I wouldn't be surprised if he was related to the other three. Maybe he was a cousin of the older one.

1841 Census in England-Henwood Search

In 1841 there were 1,056 Henwoods listed.
In Hampshire County there were 93 living there.
Out of those, there was one Henry age 5 b: 1836. So I looked for another Henry born in Hampshire but living out of the county.

I wanted to find Henry Henwood b: 1827 Basingstoke, Hampshire County, England.

On the 1841 census I found another Henry Henwood born in 1826. That's as close as I could find. He was born in Cornwall, 15 years old and living in London. He was a labourer working in a copper mine. Cornwall is where the village of Henwood is. This is the first connection that I have and that's just a possibility. Our records say differently, so this may not be our Henry.

How different then life was for a 15 year old. Working in a copper mine must have been horrid.
On this website I found 1,056 Henwoods. It was a very common name. They all came up within seconds.

On ancestry.com I did get an 1841 census that found our Henry in Basingstoke. He was living with a schoolmaster and his family as a pupil and was 14 years old. For some reason he did not appear on this new website listing. How lucky he was to be in school. I haven't a clue as to why he was boarding with this family. I hope his parents hadn't died.
