Title: William WILTSHIRE 1798 Seend Wiltshire
Post by: Debw on Thursday 21 July 11 22:31 BST (UK)

I have a William Wiltshire born abut 1798 in my tree. A later census shows him as born near Devizes, he is living in Birmingham at the time of the census with his wife Charlotte. I have visited the Wiltshire records office some time ago and the most likely William Wiltshire I found was in Seend, Wiltshire baptised 1797 with parents William and Rebecca. Does anyone else have this family in their tree - if they do and they know what happened to that William Wiltshire I can rule him out of my search.
Any clues would be gratefully received.

Regards
Debbie Wiltshire

There is also a baptism for a William Wiltshire born 3/Oct/1797. Son of Charles and Anne, born Beechingstoke, which is between Devizes and Pewsey.

Thank you. I will bear that one in mind as well - it is difficult to tie the right one up without knowing what happened to each of them.

We visited Seend last week and it is lovely - but I don't suppose that is the right basis on which to choose the correct ancestors!.
