Looking on a map, the only Little XXs near Louth seem to be Little Welton (W), Little Cawthorpe (S), Little Carlton (SE), and Little Grimsby (N). Christine

There isn't a Little Randall in the OS Gazetteer that we've got (and it is pretty detailed, although also not 19th century!) - and nothing at first sight which could readily be confused with it. Did you get the name from the image yourself or from someone else's transcription? Christine

could it possibly be LITTLE GRANSDEN in Cambridge?

I agree that's what it says on the census form but know of no such place (nor does Google). I suggest you go to www.old-maps.*co.uk , zoom into Louth and have a look round for clues.

Does anyone in Lincolnshire know where Little Randall is? One of my rellies has this as his birthplace on the 1871 census. On other censuses he has Louth, so I suppose it is in that area. Does Little Randall exist or has someone made a transcription error? Looking at the handwriting, that is what I translated it as as well. Any ideas? Cheers - Angela
