Title: Northamptonshire Place Name I can't read
Post by: PopNorth22 on Sunday 18 December 16 17:32 GMT (UK): Can anyone help me with reading this place name please? The entry reads " John Winckelles of ???"
It's a Northants village, probably near Greens Norton, but all I can make of it is "Gillsone" which I don't think exists!
Any help gratefully received.
