Where is MILBOURN?
« on: Saturday 30 September 06 11:40 BST (UK) »
Hi All,

I have just found an article on the net re the Baptist Church which ref's to the place MILBOURN in Cambridge. The year mentioned in c. 1650 - 1690.

I can't find Milbourn on a map and wondered if this was the original name for Melbourn (or just a bad typist  ;D)

Thanks
Di

Hi Di

Guess it must be a typing error or a squashed e.  Got to be Melbourn

Thanks for the confirmation.

I couldn't imagine that there would be two different places with similar names.
