Hi

does anyone know whether there was an area in wiltshire called Kelksham?

I know Melksham is a place, but i have kelksham scribbled down in old family notes. I known it could be miss spelling but i thought i'd check and see if this place existed first?

I think it must be Melksham - a mediaeval town.   I can't find any reference to Kelksham.
