Title: Landford, Devon???
Post by: Mike Thw on Thursday 07 December 17 14:41 GMT (UK)

From the 1851 census, I have a Sarah Bradford,born c 1838 in Landford, Devon.

Anybody know where this is? It's probably close to Sampford Perverel becase by 1861 that's here she was born!

Could it be Langford which is 9 miles south of Sampford Perverel at

Alternatively there is a Landford in Dorset (or Wiltshire) at

I think it may be Sandford.

This from the 1881 census. Note the "S" of Sampford Peverel.
