Berks. > > Toni in NZ Hi Toni It looks as though the spelling for Rodbourne Cheney can be a little flexible :-)) Looking for Rodborne Cheney the FHLC would appear to have the following films: >Wiltshire, Rodborne-Cheney - Census >Wiltshire, Rodborne-Cheney - Church records including Bishop's transcripts for 1605-1874 >Wiltshire, Rodborne-Cheney - Manors - Court records >Wiltshire, Rodborne-Cheney - Poorhouses, poor law, etc. >Wiltshire, Rodborne-Cheney - Taxation The WRO holds PRs for R. Cheney CMB for 1653-1935, 1653-1947 & 1653-1876 respectively. I don't know of a Brasenrose College, Buscot, but there is certainly a Brasenose College (Sp), Oxford, which has been around for nearly 500 years: see: http://www.bnc.ox.ac.uk/ Perhaps it had an extension or something at Buscot?
