Some answers can be found, at least in part, through the local newspapers of the day. Reports of social activities give us a look back in time at how our Wiltshire ancestors spent their high days and holidays; court proceedings show how they were treated when charged with a crime; family announcements give a moving account of how bereft they felt when they lost a loved one, none more so than during the Great War.
At Wiltshire Footprints we have scoured newspapers from the late 1700’s through to the mid 1900’s extracting articles for the parishes in the menu at the top of this page to provide family history and social researchers with an immense amount of information.
