Data from five rates books between 1865 and 1869 and records from Swindon Magistrates 1905-1920 had been extracted by Jean Cole and edited by Rosemary Church. The complete 116 page document can be downloaded as a pdf document. You can also use our site search facility to search for specific names or roads, or just browse the individual sets of records.
