The Mabley family spread from Wavendon in the late 18th. Century to Little Linford. Significantly, Mabley changed to Mapley with Thomas.

Thomas Mapley married Ann Frost, and later that year George was born in Little Linford (1777). Thomas was listed as a resident of Little Linford in the Posse Comitatus in 1798. Thomas's son William became employed as a servant in nearby Great Linford in the 1790's, settled there are started his family. He was later joined by several siblings, thus starting new generations.

Little Linford is a village in the Borough of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England. It is 1 mile west of Newport Pagnell. The village is separated from its neighbour and namesake Great Linford by the floodplain of the River Great Ouse.

The parish church is dedicated to St Leonard, but was so small that almost all burials took place at nearby Haversham, Great Linford or Newport Pagnell. The traditional parish name 'Linford' is an Old English language word that means 'ford where maple trees grow'. (The Saxon word for maple is "hlin"). In the Domesday Book of 1086 the village was recorded as Linforde. The prefix 'Little' was added to distinguish it from Great Linford.
