Jane, I have seen the name in Wiltshire census but will have to wait until I get home this evening to check. You are probably looking for Rodbourne Cheney in Wiltshire, not Rodborough near Gloucester in Gloucestershire. I'll get back to you.

He gave him a personal tour of the area. I haven't heard from Robert LEE yet, if everyone treats him that well he may never return to British Columbia. On the http://www.gencircles.com site I found these TELLINGS, whose place of birth is listed as Rodbourne, Cheney, Wiltshire.The only Rodbourne I can find is very near to Gloucester, I am trying to connect our families. Does anyone know the origins of the name TILLING OR TELLING?. I looked at many sites for name origins and meanings. We are having record cold here in the Fraser Valley, we will lose many marginal plants and trees.
