Subject: Eling
Dear Mr Connelly,
Thank you for your message. Kelly's Directory of 1939 states that, 'Eling is a parish and village near the head of Southampton Water, on the western side, one mile south from Totton, 5 west from Southampton,
6 south from Romsey and 86 from London, in the New Forest and Christchurch division of the county......
The old ecclesiasical parish of Eling was divided into six parishes, Eling, North Eling or Copythorne, Netley Marsh, Marchwood, Colbury and Testwood. Eling parish now only contains the village of Eling and the portion of Totton not contained in Testwood.......The parish registers date from 1538. '
You may also like to know that the County of Southampton was renamed Hampshire in the 1950s.
I hope the above has been of some assistance.

Yours sincerely,
Miss R S Watkins (Archives Assistant
