Winshill has always been in Burton on Trent.  It was the counties that were different.  e,g Staffordshire and Derbyshire .  Hope this makes sense. 

Winshill was orignally a village in Derbyshire.  I have the deeds to my house which confirm this.

Just thought I'd mention that Winshill is in Derbyshire Diocese along with Stapenhill - being on the other side of the river (which is the boundary).  The rest of Burton is in Lichfield Diocese.

Painterlady, there's a really great site with maps of Burton on Trent 'through the decades' as it were, here:
www.burton-on-trent.org/1-History/Local%20Maps/burton_upon_trent_maps.htm

Early in researching a branch of my Newtons, I got caught by the Derbyshire/Staffordshire border thing. I couldn't understand why my ancestor's first wife's death was registered in Derbyshire when they were living in Burton. It soon became clear when I did a bit of research on registration boundaries!!
