I know one of my ancestors lived at 'Middle Ing' or Middleing' near Hatfield Chase. But I cannot find this location. Can anyone help me pinpoint it?

No, these are different locations. There are other Ings but it would seems that this one is not on modern maps.

When did your ancestors live there?
What document does this place name appear on?

This appears to be the location of The Lings that dob was referring to:

I have had a good look around but can't see a place called Middleing (without knowing the date your ancestor lived there which may make a difference to place names). How are you so sure that the Lings is not the right place?

Some Ings here :

If just a very local field name, have you worked on the enumerator's route - or is it pre-census?

Good finds Pat. From those descriptions do you have any idea as to the location of MiddleIng?

Not yet any nearer finding exact location, but showed that it existed as such.

I'll be interested to get some dates from the OP when s/he returns. Not sure if it will help, but maybe some contemporary maps may show the place - it obviously existed. :)
