Hello Robin I wonder if your local Library would have a fiche reader. Many in England do.

My ggg grandfather was appointed a gamekeeper, for Coombe Bisset, in 1783 and again in 1793. The information I have records that he was appointed by ³Common Seal of Warden and Scholars of St Mary¹s College, Winchester². Would anyone be able to explain why he was appointed for Coombe Bisset by the Warden etc of St Mary¹s college Winchester? Many thanks Philippa Garnsey Sydney

Julia, I am so rude I need a good thrashing - I did do as you suggested below and it was a most useful exercise. Thank you very much for the leads. By the way if you ever need a look up in relation to Victoria, Australia I have a full set of BDM cds for Victoria and would be happy to help you out.

It only costs a few pence to access the full information. The memorial inscriptions cost 6 pence each. At this same site are ALL of the memorial inscriptions for Wiltshire, which were recorded by the Wiltshire Family History Society, including non-conformist burial grounds. Intriguingly, there are also two marriage licence bonds for a Maurice Hiler/Hiller GOODMAN. Again ALL of the Sarum (Salisbury) Diocese Marriage Licence Bonds are on this site. The Sarum Diocese covered most of Wiltshire, most of Berkshire, parts of Dorset and a small area in Devon. These bonds cost 8 pence each to access. Maurice is also mentioned in two Wiltshire 'strays' entries (5 pence each) and one Wiltshire Quarter Session Calendars entry (6 pence). It's a good idea to visit this site now and again to see what new records for Wiltshire, and for every other county, have been added.

It seems that WILLIAM PERCIVAL - Born: c1863, Cumbria, Carlisle, married ELIZA ?? Born: c1862, Monmouth, Wales, for reasons I have yet to find out, moved to Swindon and had two children - CLARA born c1888-Swindon and WILLIAM born c1891-Swindon. Both of these are in the 1901 census, but .. There is also a GERTRUDGE PERCIVAL that I am trying to track down and she must have been born after 1901. Hence my question on the 1911 census. The 1911 England & Wales census isn't available to anyone until January 2012 soyou'll need to be patient. There's no chance of it being released early either. Was he a miner or connected with mining in some capacity? Was he on the railways? There was a big depot at Swindon.
