Just a quickie for those with more local knowledge than me :-) Am I right in thinking that when the abode for a baptism is given as North Sidmonton this means somewhere near North Sidmonton House, which I would consider to be part of Ecchinswell, rather than Sidmonton Court/hamlet. Sidmonton Common is also at this (Newbury) end of the parish. --- John Lewis <jayellatntlworlddotcom> from Bournemouth, Dorset, UK. using Debian GNU/Linux and GeneWeb genealogy software Main Family Names in HAM are: Kingsclere: BUTLER, COOPER, FISHER, FOSTER, GIRDLER, HAWKINS, SMITH Hazeley Heath: BARKER, CHANDLER, LEWINGTON, NEVILL(E) Main Family Names in GLA are: GRIFFITH, HOPKINS, JENKINS, LEWIS.
