Hi all, I haven't looked at rootschat for a long time but there are so many Goodfellow descendants who have used this site and I'm hoping you might get a link to look at some photos I have taken when I was in Wiltshire in 2019 (thankfully decided to do that trip then and didn't plan on doing in in 2020).
I was absolutley amazed on arrival in Wilton to find the village square situated beside the carpet factory. Yes the carpet factory where John Smith weaver would have worked. Hopefully you have all worked out by now that the immigration record should have said Jane's parents were "John Smith and Martha nee Clarke" instead of "John and Martha Clarke". That error had me on the wrong search for about 10 years. While looking around the area of the village square in Wilton, I needed to find the toilets and thankfully I did that as there is a little museum in glass cases on the wall of the passageway through to the toilets. I didn't find any mention of that in any of the brochures. The site doesn't seem to want to let me add photos in multiples so I'll try with one and add some more later at a more respectable hour.
