Help reading 1851 census birth place

[Nicola Norton]

Hi,

I can't read the actual town or village for the Somerset address. It has been transcribed as Worth Laron, but I can't find this on a list of Somerset Parishes. If you want to see the actual census record it is:

HO107/1507/126 p 66.

Her name is Mary Wood - married to Christopher Wood (carpenter).

Thanks,
Nicola

Hi Nicola

It looks to me like something FARM.  North Farm?

dazey

yes its first letter is exactly the same letter as first letter of the line above.
So if you can read that - home and dry!

Is it an M?

Midgtroy farms...midgloy farms...wroth farm...nrath farm

Think the line above is probably Middx St James's?

Hi

I'm reading 1st line as:
, Nr. James'

Second entry- something like:
Somerset
Wrath Farm

Not sure which Census year you have got the info from, but is it worth looking at any previous (or subsequent) Census records of these people to see what this place has been transcribed as in other years?

This is 1851. In 1861 and 1871 her place of birth is given as Somerset.

On her marriage certificate (1846) she is Mary Reid, daughter of Samuel, farmer.

The first line is definitely "Middx, St James" so that's no help 

I agree that it's "something" Farm.  North was the first thing I thought of, but I'm not convinced of that.

There is a village of Worth near Wells in Somerset.
