Have you compared with other censuses? Place of birth sometimes varies from year to year but often a different census year with identify the place of birth. MB

Lesley I looked on www streetmap uk co as I am hopeless at geography. It came up with a map with a big arrow pointing to Chinnel Farm, which is north of Whitchurch in Shropshire. nell
