Randall's in Toddington Bedfordshire...

[Ezekial]

I have an old photo of 'Feoffee Cottages' in Toddington, Bedfordshire, it features five women, two of whom are of interest to me...Mrs Randall aged 76 and Miss Randall aged 95....the photo was taken in 1930, i know this is probably a long shot, but i'd really like to know the two ladies Christian names, and i was wondering if they might have been mentioned on the census for 1931!!!!....

    Cheers Ez

Hi China
They might have been, but as the census was completely and utterly destroyed in a fire in 1942 it's all hypothetical.

Hi China,

Been a long time. There is a newspaper obituary for a Phoebe Randall held at the National Archives, sorry don't know what year for.
Also on the Toddington Village page on FB there is a lady who posted 2 days ago about the Randalls in Toddington maybe she might be able to help you.

Regards

A Phoebe Randall age 98 died in 1900 in Ampthill registration district which includes Toddington. And a Rebecca Randall age 97 died in 1932 also in Ampthill registration district

Good find David, I have just found some information that says Rebecca was born about 12/4/1835 parents James and Mary. So Rebecca is possibly the Miss Randall in the photo.

I can't see any female Randall deaths in Ampthill registration district which would equate to a 76 year old in 1930
