« on: Thursday 09 June 05 17:51 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me with this area?

 I have found my family(COOMBS) in 1851.The address says Southgate,Devizes.
  I want to order 1841 census cd to see if they were there then.

 MY QUESTION

Where in Devizes is Southgate? ???
 Is it St.John the Baptist/St.Mary the Virgin or somewhere else?Don't know which area to order.

 Thanks in advance for any help

Hi Carol,

In 1851 Southgate was part of Devizes St James:

DEVIZES ST. JAMES, Wiltshire
HO 107/1839
CENSUS No. 1
Part of the Chapelry of St. James, Southbroom Place, Kings Arm Inn, Southgate, Hillworth, Pans Lane, Week, DrewsPond, Broadleaze, Plus all the Courts and Alleys.

Information on the parish can be found here.

Hope this helps

Debbie  :)

Hi Debbie.
         Thanks for that information. I went ahead and ordered a CD for Devizes .Now with your information, I know it was the wrong one :'(. I've got to learn to wait!!!
  Not to worry though.If anyone needs a lookup for Devizes in 1841,"I'm your man"( woman really!) :)

  I'll now order the one covering Devizes St.James !!
  Thanks again
