We’ve just added a newspaper report about the funeral of Harry Uphill who died in January 1940 aged 46 at the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton. Harry was born at Encombe in 1893 to gardener James Uphill (1855-1923) and Fanny Uphill neé Brown (1861-1918). The family moved to Wimborne by 1901 and, in 1911, Harry was working there as an assistant outfitter, a profession he continued at Uckfield in Sussex after serving his country in World War 1.
We’ve also added the probate record for Harry’s grandfather James Uphill (1821-1887) who died at Encombe.
