I am trying to trace any living relatives of the Weston family of London Road, Chippenham. There were 11 children and my Grandfather William was one of them. I have traced them back to basketmakers in Calne. Any information would be helpful :-S

Susan, you need to go searching! You can check for matches by using the 'search trees' box - if you find anyone with these people in their tree you can send them a message.
Also try using the search box just above your query - where it says 'enter keyword' - and it will find any other threads with these names on. It is slow, be warned.

Registration District: Chippenham Sub District: Chippenham Enumeration District: 2 Parish: Chippenham Within

If each child had 11 children, etc, you are looking for well over 1000 people, as an underestimate.
