Good Afternoon All I hope you'll forgive me but as a dumb Australian who gets very confused with English parishes, I am wondering if someone can tell me the parish name in relation to the town of Oare, Wiltshire and also for a place called Fyfield near Marlborough. It feels like I've been all over the net and just got myself hopelessly confused. Thank you. Anne Beechworth, Vic. Aust. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Hello Anne There are two Fyfields near Marlborough. See: - http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/WIL/Fyfield/index.htm Oare is a village between Marborough and Pewsey. It does not seem to be included in GENUKI but I am sure that there is a prish church in the village.

Hi Joe Thanks for the URL. I have a problem in that when the Home Page says 'click here to' There is nothing to click on. I've tried clicking on the words and anything else on the page but with no result. Does anyone else have this problem?

Ann Be careful about "Fyfield" as it once referred to a certain type of field, and there are at least three Fyfields near Marlborough. This initially caused me a lot of confusion. I think the biggest of these three Fyfields is the one on the A4 and its church is St Nicholas which dates back to 1324.

Anne I had the same problem with Fyfield. Just as an aside, I found my Stagg forebears listed in the 1861 census in Rotherhithe, South London as originating from Five Fields, Wiltshire. A case of the enumerator trying to make sense of an unfamiliar accent I would guess. I found them eventually in Fyfield, near Milton Lilbourne.
