Hi Judy, Monkton looks to be a very small area near Melksham: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/place?ftid=0x48717db65184897f:0x647d14afbb1bff fa&q=Monkton,+Wiltshire&hl=en&sll=51.299234,-2.222775&sspn=0.386834,0.283566 &ie=UTF8&ll=51.609489,-3.106384&spn=0,0&z=9 Cheers, Mark -----Original Message----- From: eng-wiltshire-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-wiltshire-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Judy Bingham Sent: Saturday, 28 May 2011 4:11 PM To: ENG-WILTSHIRE@rootsweb.com Subject: [ENG-WILTSHIRE] Where is Monkton near Milksham? Hi -- I have a will of Worthington BRICE dated 1826 and in it he states the following:   "nephew James Smith of Monkton near Milksham in the county of Wilts."    Can anyone tell me more about this and if Monkton is the parish?  Would really appreciate it.   Judy Bingham Fullerton, California ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ENG-WILTSHIRE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
