[Bell Historians] Dove County Listings by Traditional County

[c.j.pickford.t21 at btinternet.com]

Thanks Richard. I have the books at home - but I'm not there at the moment. Agree the online version isn't easy to use. Actually I find the book a bit frustrating too, as it isn't explicit enough about county changes - and only tells you (e.g.) about changes at district level without making it clear a place changed county too. But Youngs is the bible on such matters

I hadn't realised it was on-line now.  That's very helpful, 
though its format will take a bit of getting used to.

The paper edition says that the part that was in the 
Amesbury hundred of Wilts was trasferred to Berks for 
parliamentry purposes by the Parliamentary Boundaries Act 
1832 (2&3 Wm IV c64), and for civil purposes by the Counties 
(Detached Parts) Act 1844 (7&8 Vict c61).
