Can anyone tell me where Lyncombe and Widcombe is?

[KA]

I'm finding part of the family are in this Sub-District of Bath.  I can't find either on a modern map, presumably as they were 'area names' rather than actual places.

Can anybody tell me where they covered re: Bath please?  Are we talking N, S, E or West.  In Bath, or in the outlying areas.  Any information would be gratefully received.

Regards

Hi KA,

You should download PARLOC.
It's free software available on the web that gives you all the parishes of England, Scotland & Wales.
It is able to tell you the distances between any parishs' you select or plot locations.

I just cant recall the website but if you google the word PARLOC it will be there.
I've been using it for a few years and have found it very helpful at times.

Cheers
Geoff

Hi
Lyncombe and Widcombe are adjacent to and south of the river avon.
Extends from Bathwick  to Oldfield. Encompasses an area known as Holloway and takes in Beechen Cliff and up to Bear Flat.
Holloway was redeveloped in the 1960's to improve the Wells Road.
Three major routes run up through the area to Combe Down and Odd Down, they are, Lyncombe Hill, Prior Park Road and Widecombe Hill
