Hi John

Can't answer your question hopefully someone local will but I do have a good
tip once you know. Try google satellite and streetview once they cover
Kingsbridge, I managed to locate an ancestors home in East Ham, London which
enabled me to confirm the identity of the occupants from the census address
and the house name plaque on the photo.

I appreciate that streetview is an invasion of privacy but its definitely
useful for FH. Think of all those villages you could view without having to
visit them and also to be sure that the ancestral home is not now at
superstore!!
