Robert's idea was to make it cover - as he says a "greater Hawkesbury, as in Greater London". This means that we would be able to discuss happenings in the villages immediately around Hawkesbury as well. This would make it "match up" to the new expanded web pages that Robert is developing as well. I think this is more or less what happens already, as our ancestors did move between these villages a lot, but we thought we should formalise this and list the villages we think should be included. My starting point would be the following list - very similar to that suggested by Carol in an earlier discussion as contiguous parishes, without any Wiltshire Villages to conform to the "GLS" in the title, and leaving our larger places like Tetbury which already has a list. Oldbury on the Hill, Didmarton Great Badminton Horton Wickwar Kingswood Alderley Ozleworth Boxwell Tresham Hillesley . It will be a bit difficult to draw the line, Robert has suggested me might make it contiguous with the boundary of the Hawkesbury Deanery. I haven't got a full list of the villages to post here yet, but no doubt Robert can help me! I believe however that this is a bit wider than my original list as I know it includes Cromhall, as the Rector of Cromhall when I was a kid was the Rural Dean for Hawkesbury!

Marilyn & Robert The Hawkesburyhistory website and this list has been absolutely wonderful - and I am quite sure that the extensions you propose can only be of great advantage to all of us family history researchers. I have learnt such a lot over the past few weeks - especially as regards to "hundreds" and "tythings" ... and I am so glad I managed to find some ancestors in this part of Gloucestershire. I only wish the Forest of Dean area was as well covered as Hawkesbury.

I suggested way back in February that we set up a list like the Hawkesbury list, covering the small villages in North West Wiltshire. I made some suggestions as to which ones - these were mostly those on the down-land areas between Chippenham and the GLS boundary. It seemed to me that they formed a sort of community, as the villages had similar economies and often shared vicars, which meant for example people travelled to the vicar for marriages in particular, making them sometime difficult to trace. There was also a strong Quaker and non-Conformist presence in the area. I heard today that they have set this up for me and ENG-WILTSHIRE-NW-L@rootseb.com and its Digest form ENG-WILTSHIRE-NW-D now exists. My proposed list of villages can be seen on a multimap screen centred on Castle Coombe and would cover the area west of the A359 road, North of the A4, west of the Gloucestershire boundary and south of the B4040 (Mostly!) This gives us those villages that "bother" us Hawkesbury folks the most! Luckington Sopworth Sherston Easton Grey Alderton Hullavington Littleton Drew Grittleton Nettleton Castle Coombe West Kington North Wraxall Slaughterford Biddestone Yatton Keynell And the even smaller villages in between! I appreciate that not everyone on this list "approved" of the idea - I certainly think it covers a distinctly different area and my hope is it will attract people from Wiltshire research as well to chip in. Anyway - if like me you have a frustratingly elusive set of ancestors in this area, lets give it a go! Marilyn

Hi All I have acquired the Will of Samuell WATTS, Yeoman, of Little Badminton dated 16 May 1684. The beneficiaries were: Wife – Tamozen (Thomasin?) Sons Walter, Samuell, John, Daniel, Daughters Hannah (married to WALKER); Elizabeth (married to COURT) and Mary (married to STINCHCOMB).. His wife Tamozen and son Walter were named as executors but they refused to do this. Son John, Yeoman of Didmarton, was appointed in their place 20 October 1684. From Robert’s WebPages I see that Mary WATTS married Samuel STINCHCOMB at Little Badminton Society of Friends 21 October 1680. Can someone tell me what happened to this family please? Any information on any one mentioned above would be most welcome! Cheers Carole -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Fortunately his only son survived him, otherwise I could see a potential problem for us genealogists in the future, but have been wondering if situations such as this occurred in other families and could be another possible explanation for the two surnames separated by "alias". Was one the birth surname and the other the acquired surname?

I've been puzzling about the incidence of 'als' names - especially as some examples seem to continue for several generations. We have Carole's example of MARTEN als WATTS. In the Oldbury registers we have ALLENE als CHAPPE and I seem to recall seeing *** als POWELL somewhere along the line. Some 'one off' instances appear to result from bastardy. I can't help wondering whether some other instances may just be early examples of double barrelled names, e.g. a MARTEN married a WATTS and combined the surname to be MARTIN-WATTS. This would explain why the combined name survived for several generations - perhaps only ceasing when there were no males to carry it forward to the next generation. What do you think?
