Hi List this is a ramble - please stick with it.........! Looking for James Beavington / Bevington born Highham Hants c1754 I have a settlement certificate for him in Wiltshire dated 1796 in which he says he is about 42 from Highham Hampshire via Walcott Somerset. There is a family with the name Bovington at Odiham. This includes a James son of John born 18th March 1753 Do you think that Odiham could sound like Higham to a Wiltshire ear ? Do you know if there is a place near Odiham that could be Higham ? Do you have access to the Odiham register - does it actually say Bovington and is there anything else on the entry ? I've been looking for a long time - any help gratefuly received.... Regards Sandra
