Place of birth of James Smith please.

Transcribed as Bunwell, Warwickshire but that doesn't seem to exist.

He's dead by 1861.

I think it says Burnill but perhaps it means Burnhill.

Not a lot of help but I googled this

I think it says Burnill but perhaps it means Burnhill.

Can't find a place in Warwickshire that's called either of those though.

I wonder if it could be Berkswell

[Margaret in Burton]

No, not Berkswell as that is written further up the page and it's very clear.

There is a place called Bickenhill very close to the area.

There is a baptism of a James Smith in Bickenhill in 1792 (right age) to Isaac and Mary.

James had a son Isaac.

Where is it though? I can't see on those maps and when I use Google maps nothing comes up although there are references to Burnhill Green on the web I can't see it on a map.


Edit

Think I've found it, it's near Wolverhampton which would have been Staffordshire in 1851 not Warwickshire

I use Streetmap a lot http://www.streetmap.co.uk/

The indexing is very detailed and the mapping is good too.

But that's modern *tuts*


Marg wants to travel back to 1851
