« on: Thursday 26 January 12 16:39 GMT (UK) »
Please has anyone heard of a place called Marion's, Marious, or Marians of Deacon's Hill Elstree, ?  I haven’t found any reference it on google.
Thank you,

Hi

So where have you got the name from and in what context?

... and you do mean Elstree and not Watford?

 Thank you Ray,
So that proves it was there, I have looked for a Directory for 1859-1862 on line but didn’t find one
I don’t know if the local Library would have one for that time? I looked for an E mail address but didn’t find one.

Thanks
