I have a family on 1871 Great Waltham, Essex census, the person in question is Sarah Mead age 5, her birth place is transcribed as 'Roothing Margaret', when you read on the image (RG10 1664) it it is the other way round but I am not sure this is a place name, I couldnt find her on another census. Her mother Charlotte has her place of birth as High Roding Essex on other census's. Any ideas, thanks

Google indicates the Margaret Roothing is a place name! It seems to be one of several 'Roothings' Anne

The Roothings and the Rodings are old/new names for same places so Roothing Margaret is the same place as Margaret Roding
