I have somebody in the census (1861, 1871, 1881 and 1891) who says she was born in Bright Waltham, Berks.

I have Googled and looked at Genuki and I am still still none the wiser as to where this place was in Berkshire. Can anybody help?

Hello Copper,
Could it be Brightwalton under Farnborough?

This map has all the old parishes on

Hmmm maybe it should be White Waltham which is also in Berkshire.

I have found a site for the Roll of Honour for Berkshire and Bright Waltham is listed as a place but it has no entries.

It is also known as Brightwalton or Brickleton.
