Okay on the heels of Mike asking can I ask if you have any Lewis (surname) in the book P*nting too but they came from North Nibley in the early 1800's. But mostly I am interested in the Commoners and Burgesses of the town, does that get much mention - if you know.

Hi Eliz, Yes, there are a number of references to them in the section on Local Government, which covers around eight pages of A History of Malmesbury (1999) by Jane Freeman and Aelred Watkin with contributions by H.F. Chettle, Elizabeth Crittall and D.A. Crowley. Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

If you go to Google Books and put "Malmesbury""Commoners" in the search you will find references. For example: The History of the Town of Malmesbury, and its Ancient Abbey (1805) by John Marks Moffatt -- page 127 is a full page view. If you put "Malmesbury""Burgesses" in the search you will also find full page view references. For example: The Jurist, Volume 11, Part 1 (1848) -- page 22 second column Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
