	I think brummiejan is right and that the place is Brilley which is the registration subdistrict containing Kington. I agree that Bulley is written on the form but that was probably a mishearing on the enumerator's part. This man in the 1851 census could even be her grandfather.

	Glad you see what I mean Ken! To be honest, I think it looks a bit like Brilley on the image myself - there is a faint dot above where the "i" would be. In any case, the simplest explanation is usually the right one, and as she consistently puts Herefordshire as birthplace I think we should go with Kington really. Interesting 1851 find! Jan
