I have just been doing some research on my tree. I found it odd that the family were all born in Beaulieu Hampshire except for one son, who was born in Cripple Lag. Has anyone heard of Cripple Lag in Hampshire???
Well you wont have, cos it turns out he had a Cripple Leg!!!! lol
I am not laughing cos he had a Cripple Leg you understand! Susan

Well, personally, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a Cripple Lag in the New Forest - after all there is 'Sandy Balls'

Google Bucklers Hard, Wikipedia - gives you all hamlets and towns in Hampshire, lots of queer names but cannot see anything which would fit.

I was right,( wasnt sure if it was Kent or Surrey.....)

"Lifted" from the pratts bottom village website!!........

Pratts Bottom is a village in the London Borough of Bromley, on the border with Kent. It nestles in the Green Belt, on the dip slope of the North Downs, and oozes with history. Often the butt of jokes, the village is named after the Pratt family who lived in the valley from the 14th century. Until the 1830s the village was on the toll road from London to Hastings and was the haunt of smugglers and highwaymen.
