I have not seen either of these in any other collection, not even the British Library has them.

Hogsty.

Bingo!  Thanks for the tip, Rosie, found as LIGHTFORT on Findmypast!  Now I can look for burials in Wavendon.

There is a whole book on the Perry family of Aspley Guise and area, by Joyce Perry.  They are expensive, if you can even find one, but your local library service might be able to get one.

Hi.  We don't have a family connection to it, just that a relative lived next door when they were very young and wanted to know about it.  If you find out anything, please let us know.
Thanks.
