Longdon in 1840?
« on: Saturday 06 September 08 18:52 BST (UK) »
I think I have found the birth certificate reference for a distant ancestor of mine who was born in Longdon in 1840. The district shown on the BMD page is Upton Upon Severn.

Would someone with a better knowledge of geography / history know if this is right?

Longdon was indeed in that district in 1840 - in 1952, Upton upon Severn merged into Malden District
