Tithe Apportionment - Parish of Whiteparish, Wiltshire
There is a possibility that some of my ancestors lived there and migrated from there.
That requires further investigations.
This is part of those investigations. There are three main streams, one is via ESRI ArcGIS StoryMap and another other a spreadsheet based database. The third is the normal family tree, both in Ancestry and TNG. The TNG list of the people of Whiteparish currently starts with Elizabeth born in 1565.
A child with the surname Hurst was born in 1564, and Edith Hurst was born in 1566, both in Whiteparish. The question of are these people related remains un-answered at the moment.
