THE GARRETT FAMILIES OF NORTHERN HAMPSHIRE - A BIOGRAPHICAL STUDY. 77 pages of biographical accounts (including source references) of the numerous individual members of the various Garrett families who had lived in the north-central area of Hampshire, and also of some of their descendants where they are known. In Tudor times the surname was recorded throughout Hampshire, and over the years the families of that surname had moved into most areas of the county. Various sources have been utilised to discover the lives of these people, and the results would assist anybody aspiring to write a family history on any of the branches of the various Garrett families.
