Capetown thanks so much for your help. Do you mind me asking, you've gotten most of this information off FindMyPast have you? It's dinnertime over here in Australia but I will sit down and go through what you've found soon. Thanks again.

I subscribe to Ancestry -

Just added Wiltshire Family History Society - info (re CD) onto  my previous message.
There must be someone who has this CD -

Also mentions Summary convictions....

The Contributor re the prison record/marriage belongs to FindMyPast.  Wiltshire marriages etc are also on Ancestry.

Will see what else is on Ancestry - as I am sure other Contributors will.

From "London Packet or New Evening Post", March 12, 1800 - March 14, 1800

"ASSIZES
At Salisbury Assizes, Henry alias Harry Boulter, aged 38 for murder of William Dench, Mr. Wiltshire's waggoner; and Abbot Osborne, aged 18, for a robbery at Swindon, received sentence of death. ..."

The Wiltshire OPC  do not have the baptisms and burials for Wroughton but they do have the marriages. It was from there that I took the marriage of Thomas & Anne.
Ancestry have images of the original Wiltshire parish records, hopefully including Wroughton but I do not have a subscription.
Also of interest would be the marriage dated; 28-Feb-1767 of Abbot Osborn, widower, of Wroughton to Jane Phillips, [Sp] of Wroughton. by licence.

**Please disregard this message I thought I was posting on my post for the Wiltshire lookup.**

Thank you  You can only have so many subscriptions, I have a paid subscription for Ancestry but after being led "up the garden path" I am reluctant to add information with being to cross-reference it against something I know to be already correct and clearly you are obviously more adept at Ancestry than I am. Is there a chance the Baptisms at Wroughton and Christchurch Swindon could be a duplication of the one record or for different families?.
