Bures Message Board

Hi, I am looking for information on William Miles who was working as a butcher in Bures hamlet I think, in 1841 and died in 1845. He married Elizabeth Meggs there in 1821. I am unsure of his parents/ brothers/sisters. He was born in Essex but I'm not sure where or whether he was born in Bures. Any information on the Miles family in Bures, especially any information relating to his baptism/family would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Sarah

I cannot supply you with any specific information on William Miles, but there was certainly a "Meggs" butchers shop in Bures Hamlet
