Thanks nigelo

Yes that's the right birth registration mother's maiden name was Walker.

They were all living in Southborough at the time with their grandmother Marian Lloyd, I know where.

I was trying to establish where or what  Northfield Laugton was or is. I thought that it could be a nursing home but could not find a place called Northfield Laugton . Looking at the cert it could be an "n" so Langton is a possibility.

So it could be a nursing home in Langton, any one know of it ?

Many thanks for taking the trouble to help me, it is much appreciated.

Googling that address gets to this page of fairly recent (2003) planning applications. I see it lists an owner's details, so perhaps they can help tell you if it was ever a nursing home?

Hi Nigel,

great minds think alike  ;D

That's what I was doing when your reply popped up  ;)

I hadn't searched for Langton only Laugton so was having a look see what I could find. The planning app was interesting. Seems there was a Northfield Lodge and Northfield house, Seems almost certain it might have been a nursing Home at one time.
Thanks for taking an interest.

I believe that Northfields in Langton Green was a nursing home.  I was born there in 1949!!

How strange that you should post this today as it is her birthday  :) Sadly she passed away last year in australia.

Thanks for confirming that it was a nursing home.
