Request research

If you would like us to carry out research on the military career of a relative, please note that we have very limited staff time available to complete them, and there is a turnaround time of approximately 3 months.

  • Requesting Research – how to submit an inquiry and what we hold.

    If your relative did serve with the Hampshire or Royal Hampshire Regiment we can probably give you a good idea as to where he was serving and so fill in some of the gaps that you may have in the story. We may not hold all the records but we can hopefully point you in the right direction and should be able to give an indication as to what the man was doing.

    WE DO NOT HOLD SERVICE RECORDS. ALL THOSE FROM 1920 ONWARDS ARE STILL HELD BY THE MOD AND YOU CAN GET THEM HERE

    (This includes WW2 and National Service Records)

    Please note: we cannot answer any WW2 enquiries without the Service Record. 

     

    Research Service.

    The Museum offers a research service which is aimed primarily at family historians though we regularly assist local history groups and schools who are researching the names on the village war memorial.

    Please note that research takes a lot of time and therefore we have to charge a fee of £30 for all inquiries; even if we cannot find anything we have still had to search through multiple sources. We will not start any research without payment.

    To pay for a Research Inquiry, please click  here  and ensure the topic you wish us to research is entered in the ADDITIONAL INFORMATION box.

    As of the 1st December 2019 there is a 14 week turnaround time due to the number of inquiries we are receiving.

    We can also be contacted by post at:

    The Royal Hampshire Regiment Museum
    Serle’s House
    Southgate Street
    Winchester
    Hants
    SO23 9EG

    but your inquiry must be accompanied by the £30 research fee, cheques payable to ‘The Royal Hampshire Regiment Museum’.  This can be refunded if it is clear from the outset that we will be unable to help.

    We do not accept research inquiries by telephone as we are unable to answer them while on the telephone. Inquiries sent by email will not be answered without payment as we have such little staff time to work on them.

     

    Visiting the Archives for your own research

    If you wish to visit the museum to carry out your own research, you must contact the museum at least 2 weeks before you wish to visit as we have very limited space for researchers. A charge of £15 is payable, which allows for 1.5 hours of research time.
