Hi everyone Is there a Lilley in Bedfordshire and one in Hertfordshire or are they one and the same? Mapquest only gives me one in Bedfordshire, but when I google I get one in Hertfordshire. I am looking for a Martha ? who who married Thomas Summerfield of Dunstable c1795. She says on the 1851 census, she was born in Crawley Green, Beds. c1774. I cannot find a Crawley Green on mapquest. I have found a marriage on the IGI for a Thomas Summerfield and Martha Day in Lilley, Herts in 1796. I have found a birth of a Martha Day in Harpenden, Herts in 1773. Can someone tell me where Crawley Green is? Is it close to Harpenden and did the borders change? I would like to establish if this is "my" Martha. Thanks for any help and best wishes Mary Lou on Vancouver Island
Hi, Lilley is right on the Beds/Herts border and as far as I know there is only one. There is a Crawley Green Road in Luton, on the south side near the airport. It had not occurred to me before that there should therefore be a place called 'Crawley Green' but I haven't heard of it. btw there is a school in Crawley Green Road which is called 'Crawley Green Infants'. Always makes me smile to myself, sad person that I am !
