Cindy, I've just had a look at my 1793 map of Hertfordshire ( J Carey ) and there is definitely somewhere called SLOWMANS near Watling Street south of St Albans - the other side of the railway from Frogmore Unfortunately the map is in a frame, so I can\t scan it and send to you. However, it is online at <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~genmaps/genfiles/COU_files/ENG/HRT/cary_hrt_1793.htm > (lots of other old maps of Herts on this site) HTH Anne On 4 Jul 2008, at 08:32, Anne Peat wrote: > > On 4 Jul 2008, at 04:56, H & V Edwards wrote: > >> >> >> >> >> PS.
