Title: Place of Birth
Post by: cristeen on Thursday 17 May 18 13:37 BST (UK)
I have an idea of what this POB reads but wondered what the rest of you think?
3rd line, Yorkshire ?
Here is a link to the whole image on ancestry

The link leads to a sign in page. Can you tell us his name, year of birth and who he is living with or census reference numbers if known please?

Added: George Crossland in the 1851 census? There are quite a few of them. Who is your George with in 1851?

It looks like the place name might end in _ _ _ _stanton?  :-\

Sorry Cristeen, I still can't find them. I must be doing something wrong.  :(

I have to sign off now so I hope someone else steps in to help. :)

Good thinking arthurk. Enumerator definitely strays into last column with place names.

George Crossland baptisms 1775 - 1785 on family search in Yorkshire
1777 Rotherham parents John/Hannah; 1779 Ecclesfield mother Ann; 1780 Penistone father Mattw; 1782 Handsworth father Robert.

Hunstanton, I think, although that hardly fits with Yorkshire.

Cumberworth, where the son William was born, is quite close to Thurstonland.

(If anyone wants to look for them at FindMyPast, they've been indexed as Cuslone.)

arthurk, Thurstonland would make sense, George's first wife, Martha Brook was baptised at Kirkburton which is also close by. Thank you
