1844 Staffordshire Address
« on: Monday 21 April 25 13:11 BST (UK) »
Hello Folks, I've been mapping all the addresses relating to my ancestors. Seeing if the locations still exist, visiting in person or just Google Earth etc. This is one I'm stuck on.
"Foxley, Little Aston, Shenstone, Staffordshire"  from an 1844 birth certificate. The family name is Timmis. I suspect Foxley was a farm but not 100% sure.

I suspect you are correct.
GenUKI has this to say:
Little Aston is a picturesque hamlet, three and a half miles S of Shenstone, and six miles S by W of Lichfield, on the borders of Warwickshire. The Hall, a large and handsome mansion, is the seat of the Hon Edward Swynfen Jervis, a relative of Viscount St Vincent, and lord of the manor of Shenstone, which was purchased by the late William Leigh, of William Tennant, Esq. The latter erected the Hall, but it has been much enlarged and improved by the late and present owners.
