Title: Langley Larne Sutton
Post by: Maggott on Wednesday 11 January 23 18:52 GMT (UK)

Good evening
I should be grateful for help from Sutton experts-I am cataloguing a collection of letters written in1930s from an address given as 'The Croft ,Langley Lane, Sutton ,Surrey.  Neither C1921 or 1939 Register  give The Croft as a house name although I get the impression that it  might  have been the name of a road or a district. 
II can't search the census etc by name as the  writer signs with a nickname.  I'd be grateful for any suggestions

Again, found "The Croft" on Langley Park Road on the 1911 Census - this time a family home.
