Biography

Thomas 'Reeve' was baptised on 25 Jun 1732 at Hilmarton, Wiltshire, son of Cornelius and Anne, parishioners to Lyneham.[1] To the immediate left of the entry is "Goate" i.e Goatacre. The reason for the reference to Goatacre, a hamlet of Hilmarton, is unclear. There doesn't appear to have been a chapelry at Goatacre at this time.[2]

Hello Steve,

Normally Goatacre was said to be a hamlet in Hilmarton. I wonder why it was listed as belonging to Lyneham in this instance?

Regards,

Upton

Thanks Upton, updated. Not clear at the moment why it says Goatacre, perhaps Ann had links there?
