yes the Hatherell family did present problems,   and as did a few others in the Calne registration district, especially when the Blacklands, and Cherhill transcriptions are not readily available....

It has been a quest over the last few years to match all the available certificate references for Calne but unfortunately pre 1837 where there is little online structuring around the area is very difficult.

One annoying facet is that lack of burial entries for Cherhill and Blackland, as well as some of the non anglican church records........

Burkes tells us that the parish records are fairly complete right back in some cases to 1450 but we cant get back to 1650 with some of the online material....

I understand WiltsOPC position in transcribing but surely someone else over the last few hundred years made copies of materials... yet we cannot find them or their work.....
