On of my Wiltshire-born relatives is William George Dore SCREEN the son of George SCREEN and Mary Ann VEATER and the nephew of my 2x great-grandmother, Angel Dore VOKES (nee VEATER formerly PAYNE). His birth was registered in Warminster, Wiltshire in the December Quarter of 1847. He was baptized on 5th. January 1848 in the church of St. Denys, Warminster. I see that the Minster Church of St. Denys, Warminster is in the news today as it is holding a Christmas tree festival. More information on this event can be found on the following web page: http://www.thisiswiltshire.co.uk/news/headlines/8718538.Warminster_Church_opens_its_doors_for_tree_festival/ -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

Hi Chris, I've had a look at the CD of Nonconformist Baptismal Registers in Bristol Record Office 1754 to 1837, produced by Bristol & Avon Family History Society www.bafhs.org.uk, but had no result for HAGUE. The CD covers Huguenot St. Mark's Chapel 1754 to 1807 and Moravian Kingswood from 1806 to 1837. Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

Hi David, The witnesses to the 1813 marriage of John PALMER and Anne BODMAN were Mary BODMAN and Elizabeth PALMER. They could have been sisters or mothers of the bride and groom. The marriage was by licence so if you could obtain the licence details that might give a further lead. Anne BODMAN was from Calne so you might find more BODMANs there. I also have some BODMANs in my family tree, butI've gone back with them to Dyrham, Gloucestershire in the early 19th century. However, Dyrham is not far from the county border with Wiltshire.

Joining the Eng-Wiltshire List has reminded me that I have some books about Wiltshire on my bookshelves, which I haven't looked at for a while. One of these is 'Wiltshire Village' by Heather and Robin Tanner. This is a book of fiction, based on fact, about a typical Wiltshire village which goes by the fictitious name of Kington Borel. It was published in 1939 and republished in paperback in 1987 by Impact Books. (ISBN 0 245 54416 X) Besides the interesting text about a rural existence now long gone, I like it for the sixty black and white illustrations of country life in the first half of the 20th century. -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

Hi Lenore and David, I expect you probably already know that PERRETT is a name registered with The Guild of One-name Studies, but if you don't here's the web site. http://www.one-name.org/ This reminds me that I have a PERRETT in my family tree, whom I haven't done any research on yet.

Thanks Mike   Hi Mike, I don't have a copy of Pigot's Directory of Wiltshire of 1830, myself, but  looking in the rootsweb archives I see that GRAYELL & WILLIAMS, in High  Street, Malmesbury, were listed under Bricklayers and Masons and Mary  GRAYELL, who was also in High Street, was listed under Milliners &  Dressmakers.

Lenore, I have in the past done some research on behalf of my neighbour, and among his ancestors is, for example, James Perrett 1779-1859, born Great Cheverell. I don't suppose there's any connection?

Hello Josephine No I didn't, what does it say about them in Pigot's please?

Hello Jeff Yes please to the Marriages & Burials. I presume there are gaps in the registers!! Especially in the 1771 to 1791 period I also presume that these are from the Abbey. Are there any for the Nonconformists please? I imagine that there would be lots more after 1791.

Hi Phil, I keep meaning to contact you to see if you've come across a HAWKES family of Laycock. Am not sure if this is a related surname but I have Sarah Hawkes of Laycock marrying into my STREET family: Thomas Street 1749/50 - 1798 .. +Sarah Hawkes - 1798 I have their marriage banns and marriage, one of their children John Street is my ancestor.

Hi all I am trying to locate  parish records for Nunton and Bodenham. I thought that Wiltshire FHS sold a copy but that is now not shown on their list. Regards Mike

Hello As Josephine Jeremiah has found the GRAYLE name was to be found in Malmesbury well before the introduction of registration in 1837. Frances George GRAYLE, b c 1822 in Malmesbury was my gggf. I have managed to find bits and pieces about his siblings and that his parents were Wiliam GRAYLE b 1796 also Malmesbury born and Mary LEVITT b c 1797 in Chippenham. Beyond either of those I have been able to find nothing. Is anyone able to help with earlier generations especially of the GRAYLEs, please? I would also love to be able to join tigether the GRAYLE name, which morphed into GRAYELL about 1830, with the GRAYELL and even the GRAIL names which also appear in Malmesbury people. Thanks Mike
