Member Since: January 2008 Posts: 22 Send Message	If you are a resident of Dunstable perhaps you can help me. I have my Gt.Grandmother's death certificate which gives her address (where she died in 1948), as 205 Chiltern Crescent, Dunstable. I haven't been able to find this address on any maps and someone at the Bedfordshire Archives (who was answering another query on the same lady) looked in local gazetteers up to c1953 & couldn't spot a Chiltern Crescent. Do you know of a road name similar that may have been miss transcribed? Or is there really a Chiltern Crescent ? The certificate was obtained from the GRO and is typed. I will be pleased for any help.

Member Since: January 2008 Posts: 22 Send Message	The address is typed as; 205 Chiltern Crescent, Dunstable. The Luton post code looked promising until I saw your next message ! Thanks for taking the time looking it up. In an ideal world, someone on this site would be living just around the corner :-)
