    1. [WAR] Rougham in Warks

    3. My thanks to the respondents to my query about Rougham/Roughton in Warks. Of the various suggestions only Wroughton in Wilts seems a possibility, being on the extreme range of C17th Nason events. However, I suspect, without any real justification, that 'Rougham' may refer to a small farm or house in Warwickshire . . . MN PS for Anne Paling - the C20th Norfolk Nasons you cite came from Wandsworth London some time after 1903 . . .

    3. Hi MN, I have found your "Rougham/Roughton", it is Rowington, Warwickshire, about 6 miles from Warwick. If you go to www.familysearch.com and put in Joyce NASON you will come up with a whole list of Joyce NASON's. Number 11 is the one you want. If you go to the National Achives site and search Nason of Rowington there are a two entries but no mention of Joyce. It appears that Joyce's son Walter went to America and died in Charles City County, Virginia which you may already know. There is apparently a book "Old Tombstones of Charles City County" with his listed, unless I'm completely on the wrong track. I may be able to get access to the book if you don't have this info., in a couple of days unless another lister can do it before. Listings on IGI are a good way to start but as with all things genealogy, must be backed up with other sources. I checked Domesday online and Rowington was then named Rochintone. Good luck, Lynne.
