529 Henwoods in Hampshire 1837-2006

I just checked out the website in the UK called findmypast at http://www.findmypast.co.uk/birth-indexes-search-start.action?submit=1&offset=200 and found 529 Henwoods in Hampshire County from 1837 to 2006. They are on pages of 50, so I ran off 5 pages. On the 5th page I found Charles Ernest Henwood listed. I already have his information from ancestry.com, but never have I seen a list of Henwoods like this.

If you want to view the given information you must pay 5 credits each.

I hope to discover Charles's brother Frederick on this listing. This gives middle names.

All other counties are there, of course. I just picked Hampshire because that's where the Henwoods seem to have originated from. I know that many others not on our tree come from Cornwall. I'm quite sure I don't have 529 Henwoods on our tree.

With help, I've been able to go back to the year 1538 in Hampshire finding John Henwood of Medstead, Hampshire, England and his wife, Ann.

Cornwall and the Village of Henwood in Cornwall, England

Response from David about the Henwood Village in Cornwall, England that I had heard about.

"Nadene,I've been there. We visited England in 1988 or 89 and went to Callington, where my grandfather was born and visited the small, small village of Henwood. No commercial establishments, just perhaps a dozen houses.Jim HenwoodOf Seattle, Wash. USA".

I've found out that Liskeard is also in Cornwall. Here's a message about it.

Hi All,

My name is Charles Henwood. I live in Tampa, Florida. My gr-gr-grandfather was William a farmer who lived at "Straceys" near Liskeard according to a letter my gr-grandfather wrote to him. His name was Charles Pooley Henwood. He had 3 brothers Richard, William and John and 2 sisters Ann and Lydia Hedges. Charles Pooley was a supervisor of the collection of inland revenue in Wellington where he is buried. All immigrated to the US except William who went to Australia.

I was just wondering if anyone knew of them. I have more info if anyone is interested.

Valerie Henwood sent me this note today: I would like to inform everyone interested that my website tangledwoodresearch in NOT up and running at the moment it is being redesigned and will be offline for a few months.

She's the genealogist of Henwood in England who has collected a lot of people on her tree and on other trees.

Her father is : Robin Douglas henwood, who just had his 93 birthday on 14 feb and he is doing well.  Isn't that a coincidence?  My son's birthday is on February 9th.  

Woodman Group: Haplogroup R1b

I just received the results of listing our Henwood with the Woodman Group in familytreedna. Our most distant relative here is Henry Henwood. I listed our line in the Woodman group in England to compare results with our first 12 alleles. Interesting results. Our Henwoods are a match with Hopwood, and a distance of 3 with Easterwood. It looks like a distance of 2 with Wood listed in this group.

I had wondered if the root surname "Wood" would show any connection and it does seem to be so. Perhaps branches tried to distinguish themselves by adding suffixes to their name.

John William Henwood born 1845

Nicholas Henwood born 1535
John William Henwood b 1845 in Cambridge Lane West Plymouth. he married Jane Perrett on 23rd July 1873 in New Plymouth New Zealand.

This is interesting as it's another Henwood who moved to New Zealand. He could be from the village of Henwood in Cornwall. I've heard of another going to New Zealand from there. Also, our Charles Henwood went to Australia and New Zealand but didn't remain there.

This came to me through another Henwood connection. I don't have him on my tree, but then you never know.

Another contact: My Henwoods come from SE Cornwall - the earliest being a Nicholas Henwood born in 1535 and who married at Menheniot in 1558. Any one who is interested in that branch please contact me.
