Oops, realized that Daphne couldn't get this. Daphne, check out www.swangen.co.uk, it looks like George's wife and daughter were living in All Cannings in 1851. ----Original Message Follows---- From: Paul Benyon <pbtyc@netscapeonline.co.uk> Reply-To: pbtyc@netscapeonline.co.uk To: WESSEX-PLUS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [WSX] SOUTHBROOM Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2001 08:27:48 +0000 Hi Daphne The Wiltshire and Swindon Record Office List of Parish Registers indicates that Southbroom St James Parish Registers are now included under Devizes, North Wilts and that PRs are available at the Wiltshire RO as follows: Baptisms: 1572-1974 Marriages: 1572-1979 Burials: 1572:1946 Cassell's Gazetteer states that in 1900 the parish was partly within the borough of Devizes and that the church was rebuilt in 1834, apart from the tower. I note that the IGI Catalogue states that Southbroom was a chapelry within the parish of Bishop's Cannings which is 3 miles to the NE of Devizes, until 1832, when it became a perpetual curacy ie a curacy in which all the tithes are appropriated, and no vicarage is endowed - per Blackstone. The LDS appear to have the BTs and the PRs.
