It looks to me like Cambs ( Cambridgeshire) Newton.
I don't know the Cambridge area so can't say whether my reading of it makes sense.

I agree with Jen :)

Hi aletan
looks like Newton to me, and I live in Newton, that is the one near Wisbech. It's some times know as Newton in the Isle. The other one is south west of Cambridge, as Genjen says ;) ;)

How did you work that out, Ricky?
I found a Ruth Hunns in 1891, aged 21, born Newton Cambridge but she is in Ealing, Middlesex - a long way from Pateley Bridge.

Hi Jen
only one Ruth Hunns born in Cambridgeshire around 1870
1871 has reg district as Wisbech
1881 has reg district Wisbech
1891 has you say in Ealing
1901 has her down as 30 years old married to George Simpson
Online Camdex has

Good evening everyone.
Thank you very much for all your replies.
I think that, it is the correct Ruth. As Ruth Married George and will be on the 1901 census but I check the 1891 census and she not with him he is at home with Mum and Dad.
So I presume she married between 1891 and 1901.
I know for a fact that she died in 1910. Leaving 2 children and she is buried with George and his second wife in Pateley, I have a photo of the grave a family member sent. But no one ever told us where she came from.
I drew a blank with the name and could not make head nor tail at all.
So I thank you all for the replies and the website. I off to do some more research.
I should say this is my great grand mother.
Thank you
From Alex (Aletan)
