Title: Parish in the County of Southampton 1730's - Help Deciphering Please
Post by: yjm on Saturday 14 January 17 12:24 GMT (UK)

Hi Guys,

Can anyone help me in deciphering the parishes in this Marriage Allegation between Edward Knight a Widow and Yeoman and Christabella Isdell a Spinster

Ancestry have the document dated 1730, I know I don't have much hope in transcribing every word but identifying these parishes would really help me.  Perhaps someone with local knowledge would be able to recognise them.

Many thanks

Think these might be Hedley (now Headley) and Micheldever?

There's a useful list of parishes here:

That's great and Headley certainly fits which other research of my Knight family.

Thank you both for your help
