Title: Milowta? Somerset
Post by: coffeyc1 on Monday 13 April 09 19:17 BST (UK)
Hi - it's me again!

I am seeking help either deciphering an enumerator's handwriting or locating a place in Somerset. I am trying to find out about the Elizabeth who I assume married William Clow b: 1789 - sorry no dates/location known. All I can find is that Elizabeth b: 1790 is shown as being the spouse of William on the 1851 census. It shows her as being born Milowta, Somerset yet I am unable to find this. I cannot find any details of their marriage either, it could be they were married in Clerkenwell/Middlesex/London.

I was wondering if any one can help please, I have tried all the usual site searches but am not able to find anything. So any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated please.

Many thanks
Christine

Can you give the piece and page reference?
What we should do first is get a fresh opinion on the writing!

I would say it is Milverton.

There are some entries for Milverton here:
