Abinghall /Mitcheldean (Reg CROCKETT served WW1) (General)
On British History on Online -
Maps 1891 - Ordnance Survey 1:10,560 - Epoch 1 - England - Gloucestershire 023/SE
By enhancing you can clearly see Abinghall House marked -
Gloucestershire Records office hold earlier Ordnance Survey maps (not sure what particular areas) - I do remember also the GRO have information whereby planning applications are on record.
As an aside!!!!!
By looking at the 1911 census - to show the other side of Mitcheldean - Ernest W Crockett aged 38 and a cement labourer - with his wife Elizabeth (nee BARNETT) aged 33 and married 16 years - are bringing up their ten children (1 son + 9 daughters) - and they hadn't lost one child up to that point - and looking at Freebdm - they had two more children Clarence G in 1912 and Irene D - 1915 (so they made they round dozen!!)
By looking at the FoD records etc - this does highlight - not all children were christened or registered.
