Hi Sonya;

Dillington is a very small community, just one lane through it, about a mile north of the village of Gt Staughton in the county of Huntingdonshire, England. England reorged its counties in 1972 (or close?) and Hunts got swallowed up and vanished into what is now Cambridgeshire county.

If you go on Google Earth, and search for Staughton Highway, Cambs, England you'll find a little village there. The road through the village is called the B645. Coming down B645 from the east and driving west, take a gentle right on Green Lane, then a sharp right onto The Green (B661). Follow down to the first intersection, turn right. All of the little homes and farms along this road are Dillington. it turns into Cage Lane and if you keep driving on Cage you'll come back out onto B645 on the east end of Staughton.

If you search for Gt Staughton, Cambs, England you'll see the old village proper. The church is just up the road towards Staughton Highway on the south side. g grandmother Mary Ann is buried in the graveyard directly across from the church on the north side of the highway. It called the old town cemetery. g grandfather Joseph and second wife Lucy are buried in the new town cemetery which is just west of the church on the north side of the road.
