POB - Dunster or Durster
« on: Monday 17 September 07 11:46 BST (UK) »
Hi there,
can someone tell me what the sub district and district would be if someone was born in Dunster or Durston .. i don't think it was Dunster as i've looked at the list of baptisms on another site but it's difficult to decipher on the census.

His name was james cook born 1852.

Thanks so much :D
