"... I concentrate my efforts on another English side of my mother's
family (Blanche Louisa's husband James Large was of Wiltshire stock),
centred on Purton in Wiltshire, for which, along with neighbouring Rodbourne Cheney, I am OPC. I am lucky to have documents that were brought to Canada when the family left Lydiard Millicent for Adelaide township, Middlesex county, Canada West, United Province of the Canadas (the two Canadas were united in 1840 as one of Lord Durham's recommendations for dealing with the French in Lower Canada and any future chance of rebellion in either of the Canadas) by my great-great grandparents William Large (1805-1871) and his wife (and third cousin!) Mary Ann Plummer (1804-1880) dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, including the will of William's rich uncle another William Large (1763-1850), of Purton, which helped to centre my research on the right, principal parish from the outset.
Cheers,
Richard Bray Carruthers, M.A. (Oxon.)
