Help please !
« on: Saturday 08 October 05 22:12 BST (UK) »
I have an ancestor born in Basley, Salop. Now I have stared at the mid 1800's map for ages and I just can't see it. Please could someone tell me the nearest place to it? And does it still exist today?

Many thanks

Thank you so much for checking. If its not Basley, its either Bosley or Booley.

Ooh, I do apologise profusely.....I totally missed your post.

Thank you so much both of you. And to confirm it was the right place I found my ancestor on the LDS site under Stanton.
