Title: Are you from Wiltshire?
Post by: himself on Friday 26 November 04 13:29 GMT (UK)

I'm looking for Milton  do you Know where this village   is located?
My g great grandfather was supposed to have farmed in  either Milton or Wilton.
I have Wilton located but Milton does not appear on any modern map.
however there are records available for Milton. I wonder if Milton is only an Admin district of somewhere?  Can anyone enlighten me.

Isn't Life fun

Milton Wiltshire is just off the A350 near East Knoyle - it doesn't appear to be a parish in itself. You will find it on the OS map. But there is also Milton Lilborne near Pewsey, and Milston near Amesbury as well. ;)

Milton is approx halfway down the Eastern Boundary of Wiltshire, just South of Savernake Forest and 1 mile East of Pewsey. From a map drawm by John Speed in 1610.
