Devon / Devon Place Name Help Needed
« on: Sunday 14 September 25 20:07 BST (UK)  »
I thought I would post this on the Devon page as a familiarity with place names might be more helpful than ease of reading old handwriting.
The place I am trying to discover is circled in yellow in the accompanying photo.
It has been transcribed at Southminster, which is in Essex not Devon and I really don’t think it looks like that. The only Devon place name with South that I can think of, apart from South Hams, is South Milton.
Does anyone have any thoughts please?

World War Two / Land Army Records
« on: Sunday 29 December 24 13:46 GMT (UK)  »
Does anyone know if there are any records available that might help with finding people that enlisted in the Land Army during WW2 please?
I have already checked out The National Archives and Ancestry and understand that there are not many records left intact.
Iwas wondering if maybe there are certain parts of the country that might hold local records.

Thank you Harry
That is where I first found out about her.
I was looking on the site as i have ancestors from Fife and thought I would see if any of the family surnames were recorded.
Lo and behold there was a Cunningham. My 11x gt grandmother was Janet Cunningham from Dunfermline. I had a look at my tree and it transpired that she had a sister called Marion. Marion was born at the right time and the right place to potentially be the Marion Cunningham that was accused of being a witch. Obviously, I am not saying that this is definitely her, but it is enough to pique my interest and try to discover more.
Unfortunately the records of women (and men) accused of witchcraft in Scotland at this time is quite thin on the ground for the majority, but I do like to try my best to discover as much as I can.
Someone gave me a link to this site:
https://archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk/
And it is a pretty good place for some old printed sources that have been digitised.
