Hi During research today for My FRANCIS family I found entries for Hepworth, Diss, Norfolk. Researching further this evening on the Latter Day Saints New Search site the Francis family were shown as from Hepworth, Suffolk. I did a Google map search for both places and they are one and the same. Norfolk and Suffolk are two different counties; is Hepworth on the border of these counties?

In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's *Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales*described Hepworth like this *HEPWORTH*, a village and a parish in the district of Thetford and county of Suffolk. The village stands 3½ miles SW of the Little Ouse river at the boundary with Norfolk from http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/place_page.jsp?p_id=7282 On 14 July 2011 11:02, Chris Tovey <christy5@iinet.net.au> wrote: > Hi > > During research today for My FRANCIS family I found entries for Hepworth, > Diss, Norfolk.

As always, Google is very useful - 'maps:Hepworth, Suffolk, England' is a good search term. <http://maps.google.com/maps?q=maps:hepworth,+Suffolk,+England&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x47d9b615df12bed5:0x5d48fd2d1a9c2bce,Hepworth,+Diss,+Suffolk,+UK&ei=ecUeTqK9OMa3hAfu4pWvAw&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBgQ8gEwAA> Hepworth is in Suffolk, but relatively close to the border with Norfolk. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg
