Do you think it could be Lechlade? or Beachley? Information on Fairford can be found here:

It may be a local name for the place. I have searched for both on multimap and only Lechlade yielded a result:

excuse the long link:

Hi,
No Letchley or Lechley in the Domesday book and neither appear in my trusty 1950 Road Atlas in which I can usually find any place not found on any other map. Also looked on multimap and zoomed in and rambled round the Fairford airfield, nothing. I've seen the google references and can't understand where the place has gone. There is a lot of water near the airfield, but I think they are gravel pits rather than a reservoir which could have flooded the village. A great mystery.  Huh Jan

I had the same little challenge with an 1851 Census entry (HO107/1470/414/p21; Windsor Tce/Hammersmith/Kensington/London) where the Sellwood children were born at a place recorded as "Letchley, Gloucestershire".  However looking at the original census sheet, and confirmed by other information these Sellwood children were born in Lechlade.

So Letchley = Lechlade, at least in this census entry example.
