I have quite a lot of Masons on my tree, Luddington, Miningsby, New Bolingbroke, Althorpe, Boston and Eastoff ? I?m useless at geography, just wondered if any of these are near Croft?

If they are in capital letters it is so easy to scan through and find any ancestors' names but I find I don't have time to read through everything to pick up the non-capitalised names. Could we please go back to surnames in capitals. My names: SHARP - Spilsby area, esp.

"Eastoft is just under Luddington." I know exactly what you meant Edie but it reminded me of that geography exam answer that said "Chicago is situated at the bottom of Lake Michigan". Actually Eastoft is almost due west of Luddington.
