Can anyone read this nameplace in Worcester

[StintonLomas]

Hi This is weird, I tried a search for the name on the UK census and got the following for 1851

ancestry.co.uk

and this for 1861

ancestry.co.uk

There doesn't seem to be either of those 2 entries coming up.

there is a braney wood in shropshire near to cleobury mortimer from 1861 the only place i can think of is the minith wood which is near eastham bridge on the tenbury road, i think tenbury might have been near to the borders with shropshire

There is another entry on the 1851 page for a Hannah.

The first letter H is exactly the same script as the first letter in the place name.

There is a Hatfield between Bromyard and Tenbury Wells which is very close to the Hereford/Worcs border and is also near the Shrops border.

These borders may well have been changed considerably over the last 150 yrs.

Incidently the age on the '51 census is 39 and there is only 1 n in Susanah on that entry as well.

That explains why I hadn't found her doing an exact search.

Hi There,

Have been through Worcestershire contiguous parishes 5 times trying to make sense of this but can find nothing that even looks like a match - I was born & brought up in Worcester as well - All I can say is GOOD LUCK

All the very best

another guess could be stanford which is only a couple of miles from minith wood

Sorry to butt in at this late stage but could not this place be an enumerator's hearing/spelling of Habberley, which is a small outlying district of Kidderminster in Worcestershire.

Also there is Abberley near Great Witley

Have you checked details of the ennumeration district? This should give a description of the route the census ennumertor took. If the exact name on the return isn't clear, at least you should get an idea of some of the surrounding streets, etc.
