Subject: [HantsLife] HILLMER and FERGUSON.
Date: Sun, 22 Jun 2003 20:41:04 +0100


Hello List,
Copying this to Hampshire Life also.
Already have good info on these two families but now researching further:

The Chase, Winchester Road, Bassett.
Home, in the early 1900s, of William & Elizabeth (nee Mentor) HILLMER and their young daughter Dora Irene Hillmer.

Otley House, Winchester Road, Bassett.
Home, in the early 1900s, of William John and Helen Louisa (nee Tyler) FERGUSON and family.

Both families were related and owners of photographic studios in coastal Sussex, Hampshire and Dorset.
Could sks please advise:
a. Do these two properties still exist?.

b. Any information on the fate or descendants of the Hillmers and Fergusons?.

Be really great if we could establish a present day link.
Thank you
Alan Booth
