The ParishThe parish of Tichborne lies in central Hampshire about 6 miles east of the city of Winchester. Tichborne is a relatively small village built along the western banks of the River Itchen, a narrow lane follows the river and most properties are along or near that lane. Tichborne lies about a mile south of the A31 road which connects Winchester with Alton. The area about Tichborne is underlain with chalk making poor arable soils hence pastoral farming would have been the major economic activity. The River Itchen drains northwards, westwards and then south to reach the English Channel through the port of Southampton. Tichborne is sited at around 70 metres above the sea in gently rolling chalk downland, the Itchen lies some 10 metres lower whilst local heights rise to just over 100 metres to the south of the village. Downland parishes are traditionally large and Tichborne would have covered an area of around 3,000 acres and supported a population of just under 350 parishioners. There is no specific mention of Tichborne in Domesday Book. |

Standard preprinted and self-numbered combined Banns & Marriage register with 4 entries per page | Grade 3 Register - there are sufficient quality issues with this register to indicate that some misreads will occur albeit few in number | Scruffy handwriting and soiling lead to the possibility of a few misreads |
2 | 6th February 1813 - 1st December 1836 | Hampshire Record Office - Reference - 139M82/PR4 | Standard Rose style preprinted and prenumbered Marriage register | Grade 2 Register - not a perfect read but with a low likelihood of misreads | None |
