Leciestershire place name??

[samesizedfeet]

Anyone got any ideas where WHELSTONE Leicestershire cAould actually be?

I have it for one man in 1901 and thought it was a complete misunderstanding of Whetstone in Middlesex

I've now found him in 1911 and he's still saying Whelstone.



Thanks in advance

I didn't know there was another Whetstone other than the one in Leicester:D

I only know there's another one as I've struggled in many census trying to find my Scutchings/Schuckings/Scucheons/Scucans (most mistranscribed name ever) who were born Whetstone but like to vary it by saying Willesden/Finsbury/Barnet


I never knew there was one in Leicestershire

Totteridge & Whetstone is one stop south of High Barnet on the Northern Line.
