Hi Recently come across a new line in the family research from a place called Caddington. Depending on what records I look at, it is in either Bedforshire or Hertfordshire. Can anybody help? PP xx

Well today Caddington is in Bedfordshire and Caddington Hall is in Herts. There may have been boundary changes, so you would need to look in both counties for older records. Kath. x

Hi Pauline, it was in Bedfordshire, but partly in Hertfordshire until 1897 when in became wholly Bedfordshire. Hope this helps.
