I've found baptism records for some of my family on IGI at Thornton le Fen and Langriville in Lincs. I can't find either on my map but feel they must be near Boston as this is where they lived in the census. Does anyone know where they are? Thanks for any ideas. Carole

Hi Carole i live in Boston and cannot think of anywhere with those names there is somewhere called langrick at Gipsey Bridge if that helps. Will keep on thinking will let you know if i come up with anything else. Jen

Unfortunately like you I cannot find them on the map, however gooling Langriville does give a post code of PE22, not that it helps. There is a Thornton Le Moor near Market Rasen and a Thornton near Horncastle. Keith

Thanks for the replies all. I've looked at the Boston site Jen mentioned and there was a place called Langrick Ville which is possibly Langriville. Think I will need to get some old maps. Carole
