Title: Leicestershire Place Name
Post by: nbbarker on Wednesday 22 January 25 15:08 GMT (UK)

This image attached is from 1861 census, Leicestershire. The three places named are: Worthington, ???????, Whitwick. Can anyone decipher the middle name?
Thanks
Nick

From the image I can see 5 lines

1 says Do{ditto of the county from the line above} Whitwick
2 just says Do -  no place name written
3 says Do    Worthington
4 says Do    Not Known
5 says Do    Whitwick
