Our part of the Bathe family lived in Wroughton and Elcombe and then left for Purton. In modern times our ancestor left for Woolwich area but there are plenty of Bathes left. The family were originally de Bathe but lost the de about 500 years ago.
My grandmother's second cousin put the "de" back! He was registered as Harold James Bathe Goodyer (his mother was Susannah Bathe of Wroughton), but he became Harold James de Bathe Goodyer when he emigrated to USA. Probably thought it sounded more distinguished.
