Dee-Jay, thanks for that!  I had originally had Edmund's (Edmond) parents as Jane ... but, a few days ago removed them from my tree because I couldn't substantiate it and the dates didn't match up for the rest of the tree. 

This new couple may be the missing link I am looking for.  I will try to verify the data and hopefully, that will provide me with the additional info I needed.

YoungTug - thanks for the links to the churches.  I will be in the area so hopefully, will be able to see graveyards at least (I understand the Chittoe one is still open to public even though the church is privately held).

RedRoger - actually that was a good suggestion. 

I have been struggling with the geographic layout of the various towns we are talking about... i.e. Devizes, Chittoe, Bromham and Wilts.  Having reviewed some of the Wiki info - I have actually figured out that Chittoe was a "sub village" that essentially got annexed into the larger village and civil parish of Bromham. 

Devizes is the larger town and civil parish nearby.  VERY interesting read about its history! 

At least now I know to drill down to, as local an area as I can, when looking for records and have a better understanding of the structure/relationship of the various places.

You could always try a virtual tour first, with google maps street view

uuummmmm      seeing a place on a map always helps put things in perspective....   thats why its always important to check surrounding villages for their records as well.........     and that applies for all over the planet but in Wiltshire all roads lead to somewhere else.....

Living in Wiltshire I can tell you the last statement is not entirely correct

 Use Street view, not just the map..
