Does anyone know where Walsingham is?
« on: Sunday 25 March 07 15:52 BST (UK) »
Hi there

I wonder if anyone could help me out.............

On the 1851 census I have some family showing as having been born in what looks like Walsingham in Norfolk. I haven't been able to find this place on any of the maps. Have I got the wrong name or maybe it no longer exists?
