Hello Margaret, The surname of MILLS, I think the vicar got confused between the family names of MILES and MILLS, if you have not already done so it may be worth looking under both names. The Hampshire Record Office have a book of early Kingsclere Baptisms that have been transcribed, the MILLS and MILES families were in Kingsclere in the 1600s, if we were able to go back further in history, we would probably find that MILLS and MILES were the same family, worth a thought. The microfiche of the early baptism for Kingsclere is almost illegible. Kind regards Barbara Lewis Mallyon Basingstoke, Hants.

Thanks Barbara - I had wondered about the two names being the same family.

Hello Margaret.   It should also be noted that, in additon to MILLS/ MILLES, some MILES family lines at Kingsclere can appear as MYHILL, sometimes spelled MIALL/ MYALL.  There are numerous instances of this seeming surname change occuring in respect of the same person in different records. I know cases of MILES relatives living next door to each other, each with a different version of their surname, and one family where succesive baptisms seem to have alternated between the two. The descendants of at least one MILES branch (the one that moved to Overton) seem to have adopted MYHILL as the definitive spelling.   In researching earlier periods, is always worth noting, as Terry  Pratchett onece remarked, that "spelling is optional".  Very often heads of families were barely literate anyway, and the spelling in a written record may well depend on what the parish priest/ registrar/ census enumerator thought he heard at the time!   Regards, Mike --- On Mon, 11/1/10, Barbara Mallyon <BarbaraMallyon@lewmal.co.uk> wrote: The surname of MILLS, I think the vicar got confused between the family names of MILES and MILLS, if you have not already done so it may be worth looking under both names.

Thanks Mike I haven't really looked into the MILLS / MILES / MYHILL family very far. I have been concentrating on my One Name Study of BREADMORE where I have found 88 ways of interpreting the name so fully understand the problem some of whom have various spellings on the same page of a register! Many thanks for your thoughts - perhaps one day I will get round to pursuing this side of my husband's family. In the meantime any sighting of any of the family will be useful...
