Where is Osenby?
« on: Thursday 11 May 06 02:53 BST (UK) »
Someone i have is listed, on the 1861 census, as being born in Osenby, Lincs.

But i couldnt find it on google, or GENUKI. There's only 7 other ppl listed as being born in Osbenby, Lincs in the same census, and one other listed in Osenby P of Topeliffe, Yorkshire.

Hoping someone knows where Osenby is, or maybe if its a spelling error. The pseron i was after had Falkingham, listed as her birth on two previous census' too.

Hi there, ;D


I'd say the birth places are "Oasby" and "Folkingham" in Lincolnshire.

They are both near the town Sleaford.

Hi,
Your place would be more likely Osbournby that is just a few miles North of Folkingham both on the A15 South of Sleaford. Map Ref is TF 0733

You need a local for this one. I suspect that the real spelling is not as it is pronounced. For example neither Folkingham nor Aslakby are pronounced as you might think from their spelling. I too would have Osbournby as my best bet, but I don't know that's right. Presumably the enumerator didn't know that pronounciation and spelling don't always agree.

I'm now inclined to think it's a dialect form of Osbournby too, as the road from Bourne to Dyke does eventually reach Osbournby.

Robin ... I know about Folkingham, but how should I pronounce Aslackby? ;)
