Whilst looking for an possble ancestor Elizabeth Badger, in the 1881 Census, I found an entry for her born at "Nonsuch," Worcester. Has anyone heard of this place, or was it a hoax? RGll/3047/19/14 Schedule 99.

Hi There
There was a place called Nonsuch farm in Bartley Green now under Birmingham but in 1881 it came under worcestershire.
