    1. [WAR] Rougham or Roughton in Warwickshire
    2. M. N.
    3. Fellow listers, in a transcript of the 1633 Visitation of London there is a reference to 'Joyce, daughter of Nason of Rougham', who married Walter Aston in 1619? In Aston genealogies there are references to 'Nason of Roughton'. I can find Rougham/Roughton in Norfolk, which has never been Nason territory. The Astons were Midlands gentry and lived in Staffs; Nason was, particularly circa 1600, a Warwickshire name. Will anyone hazard a guess at a possible Warwickshire location for Rougham or its sound-a-like? A Joyce Nason was baptised in 1560 in Wellesbourne but would have been rather long in the tooth at marriage? - it is reported that Joyce was Walter's 2nd wife, so a possibility. Thanks.
