Hi Pam has been giving me invaluable help in wading through the script in a will and we now turn to the list for help figuring out a place name. There is this passage in the will: "I have lately (surrender) …… all my share or part of my Coppyhold Lands and premises situate? (Lying and) being (in Withfield? Lithfield?) …field in the parish of Egham aforesaid" Does anyone know of a manor or place with the name Withfield, Lithfield or ?ithfield? Bill

Some possibilities :- Englefield, Reversfield, Hythefield? Egham history at: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=42999#s2 Ann
I had a search around and googled several options but cannot find anything - I would be v. interested to know the answer. Bill perhaps you can scan the relevant part of the will - perhaps I can see something different.
