The Common Room / Place name accuracy
« on: Thursday 18 July 24 17:05 BST (UK)  »
Hello Rootschat experts!

I am researching the Weedon name and, at the moment, have focussed on one area of what is now North London.  In the late 1700s and early 1800s Weedons were located in Edgeware, Elstree, Finchley Common, Little Stanmore and Stanmore all of which are quite close to one another.  Is it possible that geographic references were casually made in those times or should I assume that the differences were strongly held?  Are these location references in certain genealogical records 'equivalent'?  Can I make that assumption?

Thanks for your help, in advance.

I am trying to tie together the birth and death of an ancestor.  What weight should I place on the fact that the birthplace and burial places are in the same parish church?  I would assume that I should place a lot of weight!  When the burial place is in the neighbouring parish or village should I discount the possibility that there is a connection?  Was it practice to transport bodies back to the parish church where the person was baptized?  What factors might impact burying someone 'away' rather than 'at home'?  Thoughts, please!

Hats off to you diligent sleuths! I admire your tenacity and knowledge.  Here is close-up photo of sitter's medals.  Painting is only 9" by 11" so medal detail limited. I was told the sitter is Wincheslea but I have my doubts hence my inquiry.  Hopefully accompanying picture will help resolve my question.
