Newland parish (Parish Records)

by philvn, reading berks, (3510 days ago)

I'm researching my VAUGHAN family in this parish, through photo images of the par. registers online at Ancestry. The entry for a 1724 marriage clearly says "of Whitecroft" but other [Vaughan] entries are less legible, looking like "Whitelieu" or "Whiteleav". As I don't know the Forest area well [and live 90 miles away, I hope someone with local knowledge can tell me if there is more than one "White..." in the area. What is known of works [ironworks?] or mills in the Newland area around 1700-1750?

I can offer you a Whitecliff which is only about a mile NE of Newland itself. Streetmap will find it for you. There was a well-known iron works there too, established around the turn of the 19thC.
