Frustratingly, the 1861 census transcription says 'Somerset - Artiny' with the added remark 'place of birth not found'!  Unfortunately I haven't been able to see the original.

Hello yam,

I was just about to ask what are the census references for this person, but when I searched the 1851 there was only 1 person whose place of birth was transcribed as "Sh Hartle" (::)) which is Mary Evans. Here are the references in case any else wants to look.
1851: HO107/2051, Folio 225 Page 36
1861: RG9/2131, folio 18, page 28

On the 1861 - which I've attached - it looks like Artery to me, but that's not a place as far as I know...  ???

There doesn't appear to be any place with a name like Artiny/Artery in Somerset either. You've not having a lot of luck with your place names yam ... :-\ 

Thanks for the refs Alexander ...

I wonder if Mary is still around in 1871? Has anyone looked yet?

(she's mistranscribed as Mary Eanes on Ancestry, in case anyone is looking for her)

In 1871 she's a widow and is from East Arty in Somerset.

Ref: RG10/3092/80/1

That makes me wonder if the 1851 says N arte? (North Arty?)

Still can't find any such place in Somerset ....

I just tried saying artery/arty in a pretend broad Somerset accent.  ;)

Mary was living in Birmingham so I wonder if the enumerator thought he heard Artery but Mary was saying Othery, which IS a place in Somerset. Three lots of enumerators definitely had trouble with this over 3 censues.

Or maybe I am just trying to make this fit.  :-\

Do you know Mary's maiden name and when she married John?

Just found an East Harptree in Somerset.  Maybe the p just got dropped if said casually?

A distinct possibility.  :)
