Notes for James Caswell
In an entry from the Wiltshire record Society from documents coded, 9 42, 31,
756W, vol 36, headed North Wiltshire page 99, is the following entry.

# 1563. & Jan 1788. Cherhill. James Caswell: suddenly diedin a house or barn.
8 miles. 1 pound 6 shillings.

I think the mileage & monetary references were regarding the transportation of the body, as other entries revolved around this theme.

There are no other James Caswell's who lived in this period, and had a reason to be in Cherhill. This James' parents built Caswell's House in the village, so I am fairly sure I have logged this death entry against the right person.
