Thanks Keith Just another place to look. Am getting very used to that. Had seen somewhere Wixford written as Whickford so it could be a possibility. but in all things have to keep the options open until I find them.

He married Deborah HOWELL. Had one child James and census states he was born in Whick?ol? which could be either Wixford or Wychbold. Had another child William Ezra the next year to 18 months at Harvington, baptised North & Middle Littleton. Rosalie: I'd hate to lay a false trail for you at this stage, but there is a Wickhamford about two miles south of South Littleton, which might possibly be your "Whick?ol?" ??
