As part of my family history research, I have
traced my male line of Nevills back to Edward
Neavel who was married to Elizabeth Allright at
Mapledurwell, Hampshire, on 15 November 1725. As
yet I have found no baptism or his likely parents.
My search has covered (or should I say is
covering because one never stops) likely parishes
in Hampshire and Berkshire. During the research,
many references to Nevill (all spellings)
'events' have been identified and a name index of
6,000+ created. While many are in Hampshire a
growing number are in Berkshire and therefore may
interest your members.
In addition to the proven Nevill family tree
centred on Odiham, Hampshire, I have a series of
conjectured trees based on parishes in northeast
Hampshire and southeast Berkshire. Some have been
verified by other family historians, in
particular much of the Stratfield Turgis tree by
Pat Sloan and Jill Lincoln, both of whom I am
indebted to for additional information.
If your members are seeking a Nevill and think
I may be able to help then I would be pleased to
assist. Similarly if anyone can throw light on
the missing Edward I would be pleased to hear
from them.
