This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Langworthy, Forster, Tindal, Garland Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EUC.2ACI/3197 Message Board Post: I have genealogical information about my Forster family that indicates several births in Donnington, Wilts, in the late 1600's. The closest I have been able to come to this place name is Donnington St. Andrew and Donnington St. Mary, found in a list of Wiltshire place names with no other information given. However, an on-line search has yielded no additional information that would enable me to find the places on a map. Perhaps someone familiar with Wiltshire could give me some information that would help solve the mystery of the elusive Donnington, Wilts. Thanks.
Hi! The two dedications which you mention (St Andrew and St Mary) confirm the fact that the place is actually Donhead, the parishes there being St Andrew and St Mary with Charlton.
