Census 1851 Greenwich - Burge - help to dicipher where born?
« on: Saturday 22 January 11 11:27 GMT (UK) »
Hi

Just hoping someone would have time to have a quick look at the 1851 census entry for BURGE - Samuel, Ann and Charles. They are in the City or Borough of Greenwich. I am trying to decipher where Ann was born. I can read Ireland but cannot make out what the word next to it is? May be a bit of shorthand in there as Samuel's entry says Somerset and from what I know of the family I guess that it says Bridge short for Bridgewater. Thinking that Charles was born at Surrey Lambeth?

Any help greatly appreciated

Many thanks

I had a look on the 1861 for them and the entry for Ann's birthplace is much clearer.  karenlee is correct it it Donegal.

I had know idea they were from that part of Ireland...always thought they were from the south for some reason. I could not find anything in my atlas because I was looking for Dou***.

Thank you both so much for your help  :)
