Birthplace of my Grandfather

On 5 August 1885 my grandfather, Edward Bentall Collis, was born at Hall Farm, Toppesfield. Edward was the fourth child of David Taylor and Julia Anna Collis.

I have visited Toppesfield twice and have been unable to locate Hall Farm. On my last visit, some three years ago, it was suggested to me that Berwick Hall was Hall Farm back in 1885.

Can anyone confirm for me that this is correct.

There was a Hall Farm in Stambourne, which is near Toppersfield. Hope that helps
