    1. [[Hawks]] Wilts Border Parish Records
    2. john stinchcombe
    3. Hello Listers, you will know that Hawkesbury folk were often closely linked with the Badminton estate,which acted as a magnet for staff from a wide area,including the border parishes in Wilts. Have just been looking at the Luckington register for GUEST families(and possibly SMART) and noticed a whole series of our local names:- CREWE,COLLINS,COOK,CHAPPELL,HOLBOROW,GINGELL,NEALE,SHIPWAY,etc Most of these registers are not in IGI,but have been filmed by LDS-and can also be seen at Trowbridge. In similar vein,Wilts FHS in late '96 published lists of Wilts folk appearing in Glouc Overseers of Poor papers,through 18-19c,illustrating a lot of cross-county movement. Presumably a similar situation applies to Som. ,but have always been a bit dissappointed how few of our folk turn up in Georgian Bath! I have access to the Luckington film for a few weeks,for more spot checks. john s.
