England maps


ENGLAND COUNTIES
This great map by kind permission of: http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/maps/uktowns.htm




I've included this map so you can see the proximity of the different counties.  Most people didn't travel a lot, except maybe for work, and stayed in their parishes for generations.  Usually (but not always) when a couple from two different places were married, it was at the parish of the wife.
