Hi again, I had a word with a "knowledgable old local" who says Lopshill is definitely on the Hants (ie Wiltshire in 1777) side of the border so I think that's the one to try. Smiley

Hi again Fred and MarionH, Grin

thanks again for your interest and information. It's a great help to me as I was really floundering with this one.  Roll Eyes

I'll let you know if I have any luck with the parish registers.

Regards
Darcy
