Had a browse thru my book "Somerford Magna the history of a N Wilt village" to seek your Josiah HANKS but he does not feature. However, there are quite a few items about the PYKES but I think we have been in communication before abt these. I found the film (no available from Family Search Catalogue/Family Search International web site of the Gt Somerford Parish registers very useful, and there is one for the BTs. These films are in good condition and easy to read. The Wilt family history society have produced a good fiche of the registers.& No 17 Monumental Inscriptions. No doubt you have browsed the Wil FHS and Record Office web sites to see whats on offer there. Hope this is helpful to you regards daphne daphne.guthrie@xtra.co.nz Researching areas: Medway, Kent;Wiltshire;Hampshire:Dorset; Sussex;Essex & Norfolk England.
