Please can someone advise on how I can find out about a location of a house/cottage that is no longer there, as I have got a couple of address that my ancestors lived at back in 1881 and 1891. Cottage, Turville, Bucks & Royal Oak, Turville, Bucks. Thank you in advance.

If you live in the area look at the old maps in the record office there. Im sure someone will have a wb site for old maps or try the Family History site. Mary

Try the local Council Archives of the area, I have found most of them to be very helpful some have even sent me photos of the place I have enquired about.
