Where is this place, please? - Image added
« on: Monday 20 February 06 09:49 GMT (UK) »
Helping another Rootschatter, I came across this place of birth.  It doesn't ring a bell with me & I wondered if anyone could help me identify it please?

RG9/2249/27/10

Nags Head Inn, Church St, Market Harborough

Henry GREEN boarder U 29 - groom stable man - London Hereford Church XXX??


(where XXX?? is incomprehensible to me!!)

Is it in London?  or Herefordshire?

Help !!

kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

Hi
Puzzling!   I am not convinced it is Hereford.  If you look at the other H s on the page they are much more open.  Could it be B?  I also don't think it is church.  The word is too long.  Chy..ham??    No idea about the last bit Tic...?
Not much help there but we have looked at it!

I thought the "ch" word was "chambers".

Will keep looking.

I was thinking Chumley or  Chamley ... or something! But the word underneath has me stumped.

V puzzling as you say

What a stinker!  I've been looking at it and I don't think it says Hereford either. I'm inclined to agree with Andrea and suggest it's a B or D, if you look at how he writes his scruffy d's in doe for ditto ?

Also if you look at the other entries, ie Middlesex, Colney Hatch,
Kent, Goodmeston, I think it's a place in London - question is where?

Are we all convinced it is London ??

The first letter looks more like the B in boarder,
bearing in mind that the line above has 'overflowed' into the next line,
which means that the enumerator was a bit cramped.

Also, judging by the o a and r in boarder, the first word could be ending  ..rden
which could give you Marden or (less likely) Ruardean  in Hereford

(neither of which begin with B, but that's life  ;D )
