Hi Richard Regret I can find no mention of Rinsworth in the UK: there is a mention of a Kinsworth on the WWW, but that is Rochester, Kent. Taking things to extremes and assuming we have some bad hand writing and perhaps a problem with accents there is the hamlet of Kingswood in the parish of Stogumber in West Somerset, 5 miles north of Wiveliscombe, according to my gazetteer. But I think I might be clutching at straws :-)) There is a Ringwood, but thats down here in Dorset and a Kings Worthy, but thats in Hampshire.
