« on: Thursday 10 February 11 23:07 GMT (UK) »
Has anyone any idea what this might be?

The word that follows Somersetshire.

At first I thought it was an H but not so sure now.
Hope this helps.

I'm quite sure it begins with an H, and the 'rtle' seems quite clear too. Hortle? Hartle?

Is the birthplace given on any other census? I see this is the 1851.

Hi,

I did try to find this person on another census, but couldn't find them.  I will search again.  I can't find any places in Somerset called anything like Hortle/Hartle, maybe it is just Somersetshire, North?

Anyway thank you everyone ... what a nice lot of people here on Rootschat!

Was the person alive in 1861? Does the 1861 Census provide a clue?
