thanks to everyone for input.......... what a shame they aint available YET.......... and uuuummmm I might have to bite bullet on that booklet(gggrrr) I only took on Bremhill as I saw some of the Yatesbury / Cherhill family names also appear in Bremhill........ so at this point I pity anyone trying to complete genealogies for this town as from the material I have collated it is apparent that there is a need to distinguish fathers and sons named same in regards to marrying or marrying twice.......
the marriage records are fairly in tact for Bremhill with the exception of one period where it looks to me there was a non compliant rector or possibly semi illiterate. The earlier part of the records are probably latinised versions of the names, and the overall perception I feel is there is more phonetic recording of surnames than actual educated forms of the names. Interesting place.......
2nd question I suppose which would assist...... does anyone have a finished compiled list of rectors for the church.......
3rd question ...... gravestones and plaques...?
to researchers doing the village .... the only way at the moment to make some rough determination on the deaths or burials is use the probate index as a guide to when some of the individuals died......
another point to mention is ...... as much as the registers held at WSHC cover an expanded period, from the beginning the fs.o does have them until 1895........ the Bremhill marriage references from 1837 also appear on WiltsBMD to the current but one must have an inkling of the surnames you require..... to enable one to cross compare to St Catherines House Indexes.
given the deaths fall under Calne registration district from 1837 to 1936 once you have a name maybe you will find the death cert ref on St Catherines House Indexes if the person remained in the Calne area until death.... I did notice there was a portion of Bremhill residents dying in Hilmarton and fs.o does record those but it for a very small window.
As I have not completely finished an assessment of the place ( as I have just completed Cherhill as well) there is not much more I can say..........
