Title: Cal P Barth
Post by: antnz on Monday 27 February 06 12:27 GMT (UK)

I have an ancestor whose birth place is descibed as
Lilleshall or Donnington or Cal P Barth.

I get Lilleshall & Donnington but where (or what) is Cal P Barth?

This might give you some ideas, not having seen the original makes it difficult to guess!

Do you have a census ref for the "Cal P Bath"?

kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

p.s. I like Cracklybank at the moment only cos it sounds good!

Cracklebank is between Sheriffhales and Shifnal, there isn't much there as it on a crossroads between the A5 and B4362, there are a few houses, farms and there is also a pub called the Hare and Hounds.

Hmmm?

How about an abbreviation of Church Pulverbatch?

Is that a place you are familiar with?

Sounds like something that might happen to you after you have been in the pub at Cracklebank!!
