Hi Mandy Could you look for George Hunt and his wife Fanny (Bingham). They were in Highworth/Swindon area until c1890. George was a foreman at a lumber yard and in 1881 they were living at 16 Rushy Platt, Swindon. Many thanks, Richard

That's a kind and thoughtful offer. I doubt that it would stretch as far as Ashton Keynes - beyond Cricklade - but, if it does, I have TAYLOR and BOULTON family from there in 19th century. Christine
