Does anyone understand Fryer's district numbering system please?!

[oldnick]

Could be Welches Dam between Mepal & Welney

[Roger Horton]

Yes, Welches Dam, but I wonder why it's crossed out?

[oldnick]

If you can lay hands on or google an old county flora, they often show or describe the county mapped out in these divisions

[Roger Horton]

Good idea! I found a map in Flora of Cambridge 1860 by J. Van Voorst.

However Welches Dam is very near to Doddington
