I thought Churnham but I don't know of any place by that name, nor does streetmap.

How very inconsiderate of him to have moved from Leicestershire in the next census >:(

What a stinker!

I think it's a place in London - question is where?


I think so too!  I am not a city girl though, so don't know where.

And I only wanted to help...

 ;D

BUT it did have BIG repercussions, cos I started looking for him in the States and see what happened...

I am the world's worst at this but it looks a bit like Ricanton or Ricarton to me? But the only place I know is Riccarton but that's up t'north in Scotland.

It looks like London and it is definitely Hereford.

Said I was rubbish  :-[

I tend to agree with Sally, something Chambers. Maybe this is his address in London, Hereford Chambers. But what the word underneath is??
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex

Thanks again for all your opinions!!

This is the only record we have of this chap & we are trying to trace him back to some parents somewhere in an earlier census, hence the need to know WHERE

This reminds me of one I had who said he was born in Leeds, Tow Law, Durham!

For what it's worth (probably not much) I think it says "London Hereford Chertsey or maybe Churtsey".

If he was like mine he didn't really know and listed the places he had lived!

Jowett & Broadbent in Leeds.

Farrar in Darlington & Leeds.
Kidd & Taylor in Hartlepool & Teesside

Like Jill, I think it says something like "London - Hereford Churtsey" but ...

I am wondering whether the inserted word refers to the entry above or the entry below.  Perhaps to the entry below as, according to Multimap, there are two places called Goodnestone in Kent - one near Faversham, and the other ESE of Canterbury/WSW of Sandwich - so it could perhaps be a word indicating which of the two it was.  The only problem is that I can't see an appropriately named place near either ...   The word might start with an 'R' or a 'P' (there isn't a 'P' in the extract for comparison).  It looks rather like the semi-obscured 'R' which begins 'Rutlandsh Oakham' in the line above but there doesn't seem to be a downstroke.
