Think Lingfield is in Surrey, twas when I were a lad anyway.

Fished the Basingstoke at Odiham, never caught any choppers though, don't think they come out on a Sunday.

I confess that I get confused with the ever changing borders down there. Every time we get a new government someone moves a town or two ... or so it seems.
Yes I used to fish the canal as a boy. Shame they had to go and "Renovate" it.

Actually it does say Linfield, Sussex on her census returns .... I just double checked. Of course back in 1851 people perhaps didn't spell the way we do now.

Ahem ~ Old spelling of Lindfield in Sussex is now confirmed as Linfield.
I offer the following documentary evidence ~ more can be provided if required

Indeed Surrey has it for Lingfield but only by a few hundred yards.
From the Lingfield Council Website.

Quote
Lying in the extreme south eastern corner of Surrey is the ancient parish of Lingfield known to be in existence at the time of the Domesday book, but for some reason not mentioned in it.  A will made around 960 during the reign of King Edgar refers to certain lands in Lingfield and the advowson (patronage) of the church as part of a gift to the Abbey of Hyde, near Winchester.

It is from the 14th and 15th centuries that more detailed records of the parish really appeared as the great Wealden forest was being developed for agriculture and the iron industry, the latter just over the border in Sussex.
