1841 ..Welford on avon...District???
« on: Monday 10 October 05 19:00 BST (UK) »
Hello there, I am hoping to find a birth in 1841 in WELFORD...but WHAT is the district it will be registered in???? I am really stuck at the moment as I cannot send for the certificate until I have this info. Actually the IGI has it as WOLFORD...am I on the right track by ASSUMING they meant WELFORD????   Thanks for any advice on this question       Margaret

Hi Margaret,

Hellos Margaret & Susan

Whelford is due north of Swindon and due east of Cirencester, just south of Fairford and near the source of the river Thames.

This could be a candidate - but only if the Avon part is assumed rather than stated!

kind regards, Arranroots  ;)
