Limeport, Somerset
« on: Saturday 08 March 08 19:37 GMT (UK) »
please can someone with a knowledge of Somerset tell me if there used t be a town caled Limeport. The 1881 census lists this town as the birth place of Thomas Andrews aged 47. I have Googled Limeport and only find reference to the USA. Also my satnav does not give me any info nor does the AA route mapping. The latter two show that Limeport does not exist. If there was no Limeport it is a safe bet that it should be Langport and may make my life and research easier.
Many thanks in advance

Hi Dave,
If you go to http://www.somerset.gov.uk/archives/ on the left hand side click on Maps and Pictures then Maps you can then select from a gazetteer of placenames in Somerset.

Many thanks, will now do so.

(Pause as he logs out and actually does look, returns and clicks 'modify')

Had a browse and it does not seem to exist. Obviously this is now a transcription error from bad handwriting and must by Langport. This willl help a lot as I thought there were two families of the same name of Andrews one Limeport and one Langport.
Many thanks for the suggestion, Stan.

Regards
