    Default Woodlands - Place Name?

    I have come across 'Woodlands' as a place of baptism and marriage in a submitted family tree. A Google search has not enlightened me.
    Is Woodlands a parish or place near/in Hampshire please?

    It doesn't appear that Woodlands has ever had its own church.
    Depending on the years you're talking about, the nearest church from about 1855 would appear to be St Matthews Netley Marsh, just over a mile away. https://www.achurchnearyou.com/netley-marsh-st-matthew/

    Unfortunately, Kaye hasn't given any indication of the locality she's interested in.

    At the other end of Hampshire, the parish of Kingsclere contains "the tythings of Woodlands and Clerewoodcot, with nine others".

    The FHL lists under the parish of Kingsclere "Baptisms and burials, 1780-1889; Marriages, 1780-1837. Includes baptisms and burials, 1846-1896, for the tything of Woodland (which is in the parish of Kingsclere)"

    Take your pick.
