Where in Wiltshire is --
« on: Saturday 30 April 05 03:26 BST (UK) »
I am trying to read a will written in 1817 which names a relative who was residing in:
Bo___/Ba___ near Highworth.

Can anyone offer suggestions for this name?




Thanks,
Susan

I think it is Bourton near Highworth.

Used to live near there, but not familiar with the name, although it came up on google.  Will try looking for a map!

kind regards, Arranroots  ;)
