What’s the origin of the Woodlands name?

Harry’s mistress Lily and their children Winnie and Jack became known as the Woodlands family after Jack was born. It’s not known for sure where the name comes from. But sometime before Jack was born, Harry moved Lily and Winnie from London to Pokesdown in Bournemouth. Not far from Pokesdown is a small village called Woodlands. So perhaps this village held a special memory for Harry and Lily.
