Surnames: JONES, GOLD,(GOULD) Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/mbexec/msg/5538/EUC.2ACI/3130 Message Board Post: Hello all I haven't been on this message board for ages, but I am still searching for my gr.grandmother who was born in Corsham Wiltshire abt 1848 her name was Elizabeth Jane Jones, father was Isaac Jones according to her wedding certificate in 1872 and at that time he was a railway worker. With the surname it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but if anyone has access to 1851 census and can find Isaac Jones with an Elizabeth Jane as his daughter, I would love to know who her mother was. Hopefully someone maybe able to help Thanks in advance

Hi Susan Received the map OK. Thank you so much. It has answered several questions already Pauline

Val Just took a look at this and was non-plussed by an apparent Motorway from Westbury to Frome and some more similar looking roads. Then I realised they are the proposed Railway Lines. At the date of this map the railway stopped at Westbury. Jim Val Burge <valburge@dodo.com.au> wrote: Lewis's 1840 Map of England and Wales is brilliant.

To add a little to the M O W thread, there is or was available for sale at http://www.redbreast.co.uk/nimrod/, which is the Nimrod Wiltshire Index site, a Wiltshire parish map. It depicted the county boundary and the outline of the parishes and their names within. Nothing else. It was produced at A3 size and cost around a pound then. Over the years I've found it invaluable Terry Basting

Thanks Val, as you said, it is brilliant! Appreciate you sharing this great website. Peggy In a message dated 6/28/2006 1:50:29 A.M.

I don't know any -thorpes in Wiltshire and certainly no Bould-anything. Thorpes being a Danish ending are mainly in eastern England. However Bouldthorpe does not appear in my gazetteer in any part of the country. Do you have any further clues?

Hi Sue I would love a copy of the map of Wiltshire please. Philippa Sydney Australia

Hello Gordon There are two online maps which my serve your needs http://www.streetmap.co.uk/ is a modern map which will zoom in to give street names. (The zoom facility is on the bottom right corner of the map).County boundaries are shown by a grey broken line http://www.old-maps.co.uk/ will give you maps mostly from the 19th century. I don't think county boundaries are marked, but if you have already found that information on the Streetmap site these maps will give you a picture of villages etc before the modern sprawl of towns had swallowed them. Hope these help Best wishes, Dot On 27/6/06 10:33, "Gordon Osmond" <gordon_artist@bigpond.com> wrote: > Is there an online map showing details of small villages in Wiltshire?

Val, The archive map site with the lewis map has been helpful. For the first time I can understand the relationship between some villages on the GLS/WILTS border where my forbears lived. Thanks for the tip.

Hi Sue, Many thanks for sending the map to us all. I am sure I can speak for everyone in saying "no hurry, we will be happy to receive it in your time and with sincere thanks". Best wishes, Dorothy, Calgary, Canada

Can find no trace on my trusty multimap.com but found this in the archives: In the NGSQ article "English Ancestry of George Yate (c.1640-1691) of "Maryland" by John G. Hunt it says that Dorothy Stephens (dau. of Nicholas Stephens of Bouldthorpe and 2nd wife of Thomas Yate) was herself a descendant of John Yate of Lyford. Does anybody know how? I have is Nicholas Stephens of Bouldthorpe, Wiltshire, England, b. c.1560. I have Dorothy's birth date as Dec 16, 1582 in Steventon, Berkshire, England or c.1580 in Bouldthorpe, Wiltshire, England.
