birth place -need a couple of good eyes

[ziperrump]

Sorry to be a pest today but actually am doing some gene searching lol.

Have found my Prentice lot but cannot read where Ann was born on census. It's the 1851 census for Stoneleigh, Warwickshire
HO107-2073 about half way down the page. Ann is indicated as a visitor and her children as well but her husband James is listed as son.

Looks like Staffordshire ???? but later census show her born in Oldbury Warwickshire....

Hi Zippy~~~~
It definitely looks like Staffordsh., but on the other hand the town is definitely Oldbury.

[Mary from Italy]

Oldbury's in Worcestershire, isn't it?

[Little Nell]

Just today I've found someone who says she was born in Lane End in Oxfordshire, but Lane End is in Bucks.

Maybe there was a boundary change?

Zippy, Perhaps the enumerator was like me...and didn't know!! LOL!
