          RE: Sources Genealogists are using
 
For Great Britain the most comprehensive gazetteer is the Ordnance
Survey Gazetteer of Great Britain. It includes all names taken
from the OS 1:50 000 Landranger Map Series. A digital version is
also available.
 
(Groton has two entries one in Suffolk and the other in Shropshire
along with Groton Ho, Groton Pl and Groton Wood!)

If you failed to locate Groton on the AA atlas, the place you may have been
searching for could be Grotton, a suburb on the east side of Oldham (Greater
Manchester) - 53'32N, 2'03W. Alternatively there are:
        Groton  :(Shropshire)   52'36N, 3'02W;
        Groton  :(Suffolk)      52'02N, 0'51E.
