Denton/Harlaxton........
« on: Friday 02 August 13 06:02 BST (UK) »
Hi, wondered if anyone could help with a possible place name in Harlaxton ? I have received information on a will reading that a person was left some money who once resided at `Wu Yuen` Denton , Harlaxton, I have never heard of such a place, nor can I find anything out. The actual  paragraph ` Jessie Hill of Wu Yuen` Denton Harlaxton. Any Ideas ??

Thanks
John

"Wu Yuen" sounds more like a house name, rather than a place? ;D

Hi John,

What year is the will in regards to Jessie Hill?. If there is a census in that period it might? be able to identify it or the parish records.
Incidentally Denton and Harlaxton are separate villages so it could be in either one.
