Is the newspaper on any microfilm that can be purchased, and if not, does anyone have access to it in library form that can search it, or know of anyone that can search it for a fee? I live in Canada and cannot research it in Wiltshire myself. Thank you, Karen Cooper

From Cyndes list came the addy for a free download of a UK Atlas http://www.geneabase.com/products.htm I just opened it and it is awesome, it is a BIG download and not for those on phonemodem (unless brave *G*). It is nice enough to make me think of "paying" for one of these, and I don't do that lightly LOL The usual applies, I have no interest in this except to share a nifty resource with the lists. Eliz

Dear All, John is quite correct. There was a significant agricultural depression after the Napoleonic Wars were finished in 1815 which last for nearly 20 years. Wages for ag labs was particularly depressed and most had to call on Parish Relief to feed their families. Many landowners, faced with depressed farm prices, enclosed their lands, further displacing ag labs. Rather than remain in such depressed conditions, many families migrated to other parts of the British Isles, particularly the towns, or even overseas. Have a great day!!

Julie, Marsh Road isn't in Westbury as such - it's nearby Dilton Marsh. I realised this when looking in the Westbury District 1851 census and saw Slobs Lane! It's there now, and you can find it on Multimap. Marsh Rd begins in Dilton Marsh as High St, becomes Clivey St, then Marsh Rd at Five Lords Farm, ending on the A36 near Standerwick. Can I look anyone up for you there in 1851?

Hi Tony, St Andrews was indeed the former workhouse as referenced by Adrian. Chippenham's hospitals were all amalgamated at that location about 15 years ago and it is now known as Chippenham Community Hospital. When it was St Andrews it was primarily a geriatric facility. Prior to the amalgamation, general hospital services were provided at what I remember being called "the cottage hospital", which was about a mile away on London Road on the other side of town. I suspect that this may have been officially the "Chippenham District Hospital". I'll try to get into Chippenham library sometime this week and see what I can find in the collection of directories there. I just took a drive along Palmer Street. No. 35 is a residential property in a terrace (probably built in the 1920s at a guess). There's no evidence of a shop front, but of course it may have been modified at some time. And the houses may have been re-numbered. The adjacent properties are numbered 36, 36A, 36B, which is a bit odd. (All of this is based on my glancing at the houses as I drove by, so I may have got it slightly wrong.) The directories should throw some light on this. -- Arthur (in Chippenham, but only since 1976) In message <001301c67cfa$c36b5fa0$ae209a8e@oemcomputer>, Tony Woodward <tony.woodward@one-name.org> writes >1) I have a reference about Alice Mary Freegard who lived in Chippenham but >died in St. Andrew's Hospital.

The entry is ambiguous and it's not clear >>if >>this hospital was actually in Chippenham or elsewhere. >> >>So can anyone please tell me what were the hospitals in Chippenham in say >>the 1930s to the 1960s? Since the parish church in Chippenham is St. Andrew >>it's a fairly safe bet but I would like to know for certain. Today's names >>for hospitals only say "regional" or "county" or something similarly generic >>so a Google search was no help. >>I have another entry from 1966 (for her younger sister Lucy, who died later >>the same year) that says "Chippenham District Hospital", and I don't know >>what that was either. >> >>Kelly's 1939 directory for Wiltshire, the latest that I have easy access >>to >>(and where would we be without Archive CD Books?) doesn't mention hospitals >>at all! I can only assume that they were not considered as important as >>the >>"Customs & Excise & Pensions Office", or the public weighbridge at the >>railway station, both of which get a mention! >> >>2) And while I'm digging for information on Chippenham, in the same 1939 >>directory the same "Miss Alice Mary Freegard" is listed as a shopkeeper >at >>35 Palmer St. That was the year before I was born, but can anyone on this >>list, in my generation or older, tell me what kind of shop it was? Was it >>still there after the war? In the 1901 census she was in Wantage, Berkshire, >>listed as "House Furnisher's Assistant". She was then 26, and possibly >>learning a trade. So was the shop in Chippenham a furniture shop or an >>interior decorator's? She was already 64 by 1939, and probably due to retire >>soon, but she lived on until 1966, unmarried and still in Chippenham, and >>she died at the respectable age of 91. Her sister Lucy followed her at >age >>90 a few months later, also in Chippenham. It's possible, even probable, >>that they had set up house together, but I don't know that because the >>addresses at the time of death are different. I know how Alice and Lucy >>fit >>into the Freegard family trees, but I'd like to know what they were doing >>with their lives, because the last reference I have for either of them >>otherwise is in their home village of Dauntsey in 1912, when they each had >>50 or 55 years or the majority of their lives left to live. >> >>Tony Woodward in Ottawa, Canada, >>tony.woodward@one-name.org >>Wiltshire Census Indexes >>FREEG(U)ARD One-Name Study ___________________________________________________________ Tiscali Broadband from 14.99 with free setup! http://www.tiscali.co.uk/products/broadband/
