Can't find birth place on map - STORTON ??
« on: Tuesday 29 March 05 15:23 BST (UK) »
Hi

I have just found my Gt Gt Gt Grandfather ROBERT CRESSWELL (b1799)  and his birth place on the 1861 Camberwell census says 'Storton' Huntingdon, but I have been unable to find this location.

Does anyone have any idea what it could be ?

Thanks

Hi Rowena

There is a Great Staughton in the St Neots registration district, its about half way between Bedford and Huntingdon

Hope this helps

Happy hunting
