Hi, my lot stayed in Homington Wilts through the 18th cent. until widow Vincent went to Dorset in 1870-ish.  I've read on a website that my Wiltshire Vincents originally came down from Leeds around 1500 and settled in Amesbury. They moved to Homington in the 18th cent but I'm pretty sure the Brinkworth/ Garsdon V's are related. I'll see what I can find while it's raining!
