Now I know Boyds is regarded as unreliable, but....

I already have this marriage 3 Oct 1732 in Bursledon, Hants. Sarah Paige is of South Stoneham, Hants

Okay, I begin to see light. The appalling typescript didn't say Hunts, did it!

Phoenix, I have noticed how many time Herts and Hunts have got mixed up, also Hants.

I know that TNA themselves have muddled Herts and Herefordshire in some places. I just got excited, assuming it was a coherent database. Giles was born in Hants, but I don't know where his father came from.

Yes, I should have said Herefordshire, I was racking my brains but couldn't remember!
