Buckinghamshire Genealogy

 
Description

"BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, or BUCKS, an inland county; bounded on the NW and N by Northamptonshire; on the NE by Beds; on the E by Beds and Herts; on the SE by Middlesex; on the S and SW by Berks; and on the W by Oxfordshire. It has an irregular outline; but forms, on the whole, a slender oblong, lying N and S. Its only natural boundaries are the river Thames, dividing it from Berks, and a few miles of other streams, dividing it from parts of other counties."
from Imperial Gazatteer of England & Wales, 1866-9
