I have relatives whose birth was shown as Buckhaven, Hertfordshire. Although I was born in Hertfordshire and know the county I am unable to locate where this village may have been in around 1830. As I live in New Zealand I am no longer able to visit and try a local trace. Anybody able to help please? Roger

Roger, If this relates to your Reuben Walker the village is Buckland on most censuses. Rose

There is no Buckhaven in Herts, but there is Buckland which is near Royston. Try visiting Hertscc.gov.uk. Chris
