Updates to the Minchinhampton Closes from Malcolm Jones in the form of a large GEDCOM. Many thanks to Malcolm for sending us this. It's been sat in my To Do heap for quite a while, but finally got around to…
Updates to the line of John Close (< 1727) and Mary Smith (< 1722) into the Middlesbrough area.
