Hello there gibbo,the Lingfield in Surrey is the wrong one.The family i am looking for came from the Warwickshire,Staffordshire area.I was wondering if it might be Lichfield,which would be in the right area.Where was West Bromwich in 1841.I will have to keep looking.Cheers Cumbrian

gibbo thanks for this link to Genuki.This is the West Bromwich i am after it mentions Lyng .Lyng Lane also Lyngfield,so Lingfield is spelt wrong,shows how easy you can be thrown of track.Thanks Again.Cumbrian

Hi Cumbrian..lyng Lane is in West Bromwich...Lichfield has a beautifull cathedral and was a more bigger place than West Bromwich before the industrial revolution...the county is Staffordshire.
