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.
5. Thomas Henwood b: 1812 age 22 , trial Easter 1834 session in Winchester, Hampshire County, larceny from a person, not guilty.
6. Anne Henwood, trial April 1813 in Willshire, acquittal during April session of larceny.
7. Isabella Henwood trial April 1813 in Wiltshire, acquittal.
8. William b: 1816 age 27, trial 17 October 1843 in Devon, a county next door to Cornwall, acquitted of larceny.
9. Susan Henwood trial January 1821 in Devon, acquittal
10. Eli Henwood b: 1822 trial 15 October 1839 in Wiltshire, acquittal
11. James Henwood trial during Lent 1823 in Berkshire, imprisonment for larceny 14 days.
12. James Henwood born 1834 age 22, trial 5 March 1845 in Oxfordshire, acquittal. This is 2 counties from Hampshire, fairly close by.
13. William Henwood trial Lent 1824 in Devon for larceny from a person, imprisoned 6 months.
14. Charles Henwood trial 14 October 1851 in Surrey, imprisonment for stealing from a person, punishment is 6 months.
15. Charles Henwood trial 18 October 1852 Hampshire County, imprisonment for larceny. Convicted before of felongy, given 9 months.
16. John Henwood trial 5 January 1852 in Hampshire County, aquittal.
17. Eliza Henwood in Newington, Surrey County, imprisonment for larceny. Punishment hard to decipher, maybe 6 months.
18. Charles Henwood trial 17 October 1859 in Hampshire County called South Hampton County in Winchester, imprisonment for larceny. Convicted berore twice of felony. Punishment hard to decipher, could be 3 yrs or 6 months or not decided then.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Charles Ernest Henwood 1897-1984
Charles was born on February 6, 1897 in Hartley Wintney, England and died September 10, 1984 in Seal Beach, California. Where he was born exactly is confusing. I have several places . His daughter had Basingstoke, Hampshire on one document and his son thought he was born in Winchfield. His birth certificate says Hartley-Wintney in the County of Southampton. I thought Hampshire was a county, but I see that Southampton is mentioned frequently.
His parents died when he was a young boy or man. This may have been around 1912-1913 since Charles was 16 years old and already in the British Army in 1913.
He had spent his early years touring in Australia where he worked and New Zealand. There is a story about him being the first person to ride the whole length of Australia on a motorcyle. He joined the British army when age 16 -20. He went to Australia and rode a motorcycle the length of the country and was the 5th man in their history to do so. He had followed the railroad tracks.
He rented rooms from some people in Auckland, New Zealand. It must have been a boarding house. There he met Dorothy, his future wife. Friends that they had there were Alice ? and her husband who were either other boarders or the owners of the home and they stayed friends for a long time. They had two boys about the same age as Charles and Dorothy's first daughter. Alice later visited them in Washington. The Henwoods went back to New Zealand for visits and saw them there. This is interesting in that there are many Henwoods living in both these places. Then he did some traveling around Europe and it is known that he was in France.
After marrying Dorothy, whose first name was really Queenie, they moved to Victoria, Canada.
She had been previously married to a William Trevissick so had a son, Dennis. They all moved to Sumner, Pierce County, Washington, USA . By 1930 they had a boy 10 years old and a girl 1 1/2 years old. Then their third child was born. Charles was a landscaper and worked in a nursery. Queenie Dorothy was only 30 years old.
He continued to work as a landscape architect, and worked on many estates. He knew his flowers and how to grow things. Also, he had built homes in Lakeview, Washington and sold them. When the children were grown up and he was retired, they would live in Vancouver, Canada or Victoria and then move to Santa Monica, California. They enjoyed going back and forth. When doing this they would manage apartment complexes. He could fix anything that needed fixing.
When he came to visit his grandchildren, he would immediately head outdoors and work on a much neglected yard. He enjoyed helping out where he could.
Charles died at age 87 years and 7 months.
His parents died when he was a young boy or man. This may have been around 1912-1913 since Charles was 16 years old and already in the British Army in 1913.
He had spent his early years touring in Australia where he worked and New Zealand. There is a story about him being the first person to ride the whole length of Australia on a motorcyle. He joined the British army when age 16 -20. He went to Australia and rode a motorcycle the length of the country and was the 5th man in their history to do so. He had followed the railroad tracks.
He rented rooms from some people in Auckland, New Zealand. It must have been a boarding house. There he met Dorothy, his future wife. Friends that they had there were Alice ? and her husband who were either other boarders or the owners of the home and they stayed friends for a long time. They had two boys about the same age as Charles and Dorothy's first daughter. Alice later visited them in Washington. The Henwoods went back to New Zealand for visits and saw them there. This is interesting in that there are many Henwoods living in both these places. Then he did some traveling around Europe and it is known that he was in France.
After marrying Dorothy, whose first name was really Queenie, they moved to Victoria, Canada.
She had been previously married to a William Trevissick so had a son, Dennis. They all moved to Sumner, Pierce County, Washington, USA . By 1930 they had a boy 10 years old and a girl 1 1/2 years old. Then their third child was born. Charles was a landscaper and worked in a nursery. Queenie Dorothy was only 30 years old.

History of Hartley Wintney, Hampshire, England
Hartley Wintney, Hampshire, England is the source of the Henwood line that I have traced to 1827. Many of the ancestors stayed in the area.
It is a village and civil parish in the English county of Hampshire. Following is history from the wickapedia.
History
It is recorded in the 13th century as Hertleye Wynteneye which means "the clearing in the forest where the deer graze by Winta's island". Winta was probably a Saxon who owned the island in the marshes where a priory of Cistercian nuns was founded in the middle of the 12th century.
In prehistoric times, the area was probably fairly heavily wooded with a lake and a marshy area. Although Roman settlement here cannot be proved, there were Roman settlements not far away at Odiham and Silchester. A small settlement around a wooden church in the vicinity of St Mary's Church would possibly have existed in Saxon times. The village would have been included in the Hundred of Odiham in the Domesday Book of 1086. It was part of King Harold's royal estate at Odiham and after 1066 it became King William's land. About 100 years after the Conquest the lands comprising Hartley Wintney became a separate manor owned by the FitzPeters family. This family subsequently gave land to the Cistercians to found a priory of nuns. A deer park, which stretched from Odiham to the outskirts of the settlement and to the north, was used for 600 years by Royalty and others for hunting and the wood was used for fuel.

The red-brick parish church of St John over looks the green and the elegant Mildmay oak trees beyond. The oaks were planted by Lady St John Mildmay in response to the call, in 1807, by Admiral Collingwood following the Battle of Trafalgar for landowners to plant oaks to provide timber for naval ships. The cricket green, home of the oldest cricket club in Hampshire, is behind the shops adjoining a second picturesque duckpond and Dutch-gabled farmhouse.
In 1831, the village (excluding Elvetham and Hartfordbridge) had a population of 1139.

Project Background At Family TreeDNA for Hampshire Group
Hampshire (also known as Southampton before 1800) is dotted with ancient burial mounds. A large county in southern England which borders on the English Channel with its great ports of Southampton and Portsmouth; it also sweeps inland with gentle rolling hills towards the great cities of Andover and Basingstoke just an hour from London. The intent of this project is to establish a database of the varied y DNA which is found in Hampshire and to understand the genetic history of this county which is mentioned very often in the Domesday Book.

Henwood Village in Cornwall, England
A Steve Henwood in Australia contacted a Steve Henwood in the states to say that our Henwoods may have come from the village of Henwood in Cornwall, England. He had visited this village. His relatives were miners and coach painters there. They immigrated to Australia in the 1850's and kept up coach painting and then later joined the railways. He lives with his wife and 2 children in the town of McLaren Vale, south of the cith of Adelaide in South Australia. He is an aircraft engineer.
So far I haven't found any connection to this line. It is interesting that there is a village by the same name. I have just found the village of Henwood, Cornwall, England. I'll include the map where the red light globe A figure is pointing to the spot.

PS:9/10/09 A Charles Henwood just contacted me to tell me exactly where Henwood Village is:
Henwood is about 4 miles north of Liskeard just off the Liskeard-Launceston road(B 3254). It is in the parish of Linkinhorne.
I do know that Charles Ernest traveled and lived in Australia for some time. He was also in New Zealand. That's where he married Queenie Dorothy Travissick nee Disney.
Henwood Family of Henry and Sarah born 1827
Henry Henwood was born in 1827 in Basingstoke, Hampshire, Harley Wintney, England. He married Sarah who was also from the same town. They had seven (7) children that I found on the census information.
1. Henry Walter Henwood b: March 1852 in the same town as father and mother. He married Ellen born in 1853 in another town; Fitchfield, Hampshire, England. They had 2 children that I found. on the census
a. Henry W. Henwood b: 1880 in P0rtsea, Hampshire, England
b. Sidney A. Henwood b: 1886 in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England
2. Charles Henwood was born in 1854 in Farnham, Surrey, England. This shows that Henry moved around somewhat, probably finding work. He married Mary Ann Munday born in 1861 in Hank Brown Candewood, Winchfield, England. This is the line that we are from.They had 2 children that I have found on the census and from oral history. According to oral history they died young leaving our Henwood without parents at an early age.
a. Charles Ernest Henwood was born on February 6, 1897 in Winchfield, Hartley Wintney Row, County of Hampshire, England. This shows that our Henwoods had not traveled far to find another residence. We're still in Hampshire. He married Queenie Dorothy Disney born December 25, 1899 in Hornchurch, Romford District, Essex County, England in Auckland, New Zealand on June 4, 1927. He turned out to be a traveler and broke out of the neighborhood. So did Queenie who was known as Dorothy. I have not been able to connect her to the famous Walt Disney though have tried as she had thought she was. Dorothy wound up outside of England due to a first marriage to William Llewellyn Trevissick and had a young son when she married Charles. Charles and Dorothy had 2 children, both living.
b. Frederick Henwood was born in 1900 in Cranleigh, Ewhurst, Surrey, England. He went into the navy. This shows that Charles and Mary Ann had moved out of the county for his birth.
3. Ellen Frances Henwood was born in 1859 in Morli Lowsen, Middlesex, England. Again, her parents were on the move.
4. George Henwood was born in 1861 in Phoenix Green, Hampshire, Hartley Wintney, Hartley Row, England. It looks like they have returned to their origins. He married Sophia who was born in 1867 in Froyle, Southhampton, England. They had 3 children.
a. Ann Henwood was born in 1886 in the same town.
b. Walter Henwood was born the next year, 1887 in the same town.

5. Richard Henwood was born March 1861 in Hampshire, Hartley Wintney, Hartley Row, Winchfield, England He married Minnie Sharp born in 1860 in Buckinghamshire, Iver Heath, England. I found that they met while he was working as a servant in London when 20 years old and Minnie was also a servant there in the same household. Her full name was listed. In the next census they were married and living in their own residence. They had 5 children.
a. Rhoda M. Henwood was born in 1889 in Hampshire, Harley Wintney, Southampton, England.

I found out that Basingstoke is 45 minutes SW from London. It lies in SE England. The name was on the census information.
Farnham, where Charles Ernest was born, is just a little SE from Basingstoke. It's very close.
Henwood Name: Where From?
Our Henwood family comes from England. I've just traced the family back to a
Henry Henwood born in 1827 in Basingstoke, Hampshire, Harley Wintney, England. He was married to Sarah Unknown, also born in 1827. Harley Wintney seems to be the center of our family Henwoods.
Now a present day Henwood from this line is doing a dna test with Family Tree dna so we will know more about the origins. The results will be out in about two months.
HEN: In the book, Finding Our Fathers-a guidebook to Jewish Genealogy by Dan Rottenberg, the name Hen is listed. The reference says it is related to GRACIAN.
Under Gracian, it says: It was a prominent Spanish family descended from Judah ben Barzilai. Members lived chiefly at Barcelona from the 13th through 16th centuries. Most used the name
HEN. The Jewish Encyclopedia has 14 biographies. The name is related to NASI and TRABOT.
WOOD: This surname is related to HAYS. This was a Dutch family that emigrated to America in the early 18th century. Jewish Encyclopedia has a family tree and many biographies. They also refer to the records of Myers, Hays and Mordecai Families from 1707 to 1913. They are related to WOOD, and other names.
I'm wondering if a Hen couldn't have married a Wood and they connected the surnames such as the Spanish people do. The female doesn't drop her name but adds hers onto his.
Or, was there a sign on their home or village made of a wooden hen for identification purposes? DNA will soon tell us more. Until then, on with a paper trail and regular genealogy findings.
On familytreedna, I have joined the group of people ending with the name "Wood". We'll see if there is a connection somehow. So far, there was no Henwood group, though I know the world abounds with living Henwoods. I urge them to join the dna testing.

A name ending with Wood might be telling us this is a geographic location of where the original people lived. the surname "Atwood" is from the Saxon "atte Wood" or at the wood.
In the 13th century most men and women in England shared the same few given names. Brian M. Scott, researcher of names, listed 21 manor held by the Abbey of Bee which showed that one of every seven men was named William and that the five most common names were:
William, Richard, John, Robert, and Hugo. They were used by 45% of the men listed.
The top 10 names accounted for 70% of the men listed.
Women's names were also common. The top six were:
Matilda, Alice, Agnes, Edith and Emma. Matilda was the most common and used by one out of six women. The top 12 were used by about 70% of the women listed.
Later surnames were needed and used and were often depicted graphically because of the high rate of illiteracy. Perhaps the first Henwoods had a wooden hen outside their home.
from ancestry.com:English: habitational name from any of various places so named, as for example Henwood in Cornwall, in Linkinhorne parish, which is named from Old English henn ‘hen’, ‘wild bird’ + wudu ‘wood’, or Hen Wood in Wootton, Oxfordshire (formerly in Berkshire), which is named from Old English hiwan ‘religious community’ (genitive plural higna) + wudu.
