I wonder if any one would know where, a Richmond Road and a Colly Road are. I am not sure which shire they might be in. I do know that my family lived in Lavendon in Buckinghamshire and in Wiltsead and Bedford in Bedfordshire. Thank you for your time and effort in advance. Vicky in USA
Vicky... The answer may be found at www.streetmap.co.uk If you search for Colly Road, you will get no matches anywhere. "Colley Road" (with an "e") brings up three matches, none of them in Bucks. Richmond Roads are ten a penny and there is one in Bucks, on the eastern outskirts of Aylesbury. It's co-ordinates are 484421,213519 and if you enter these into www.old-maps.co.uk you'll see that in the late nineteenth century, "this were all green fields". As a further check, I searched for Colly Road in Old Maps and found none, but there were 189 instances nationwide of Richmond Road.
