Does anyone know where this is? I can't find it on any map and have googled it but still can't find it. I'm hoping it could be King's Norton. I have found an ancestor on IGI who was born in Norton, Derby. Sandy |

Thanks, Porkie. Was it ever classed as being in Derbyshire? My geography og England isn't too good, having grown up abroad. Sandy |
