My great grandmother, Elizabeth Allaban (born around 1864) was a servant at Elton Villas in Spalding. Do you know where this would have been in Spalding? I am currently tracing my family tree so would be pleased to hear from anyone with that name. Elizabeth Allaban married Joseph Preddy in March 1891 at Spalding.

West of Long Sutton and east of Spalding, Holbeach is another of Lincolnshire's numerous small market towns. It received its first market charter in 1252.
