Each "hop" is about a mile , and its hard on the ground to spot when Abenhall becomes Shapridge becomes Flaxley, so it should not be too surprising to see people recorded in these places/parishes. The young 'un s are sometimes found working on a nearby farm, probably better than underground.....

<<Unlike some Collafield folk who pop up in Ohio for a US Census and then are back in Littledean for the next English Census :-) >>
