Title: Old Park Farm, Coningsby Park, West Halton parish location query
Post by: BMikeW on Saturday 07 February 15 12:21 GMT (UK)

My ancestors William & Mary WRIGHT are shown in the 1841 census as working at Old Park Farm, Coningsby Park, West Halton parish, Glanford Brigg RD in North Lincolnshire. Both are age 55.

Does anyone have any clues as to where Old Park Farm is located now?

Lincolnshire Archives in Lincoln have a series of maps, maybe they would be able to help.

Thanks for your thoughts on this.  After more digging I have gleaned that Coningsby is nowadays spelt Conesby and the farm is quite topical at the moment due to a housing scheme planning application.

It's quite a way from West Halton village but lies within the then parish boundary.

Once again thanks, Mike
