Where born?
« on: Monday 12 March 12 17:22 GMT (UK) »
Anyone know where Carlton something or other is?
The 1851 census for Gowdall has my ggg grandfather Edward Rhodes, widower, age 72, agricultural labourer, born at Carlton ---- can't make the rest of it out.
His two sons,George and Benjamin and daughter Susan are with him.
The ref is HO 107  2350 and 439 in the top right corner.

I wonder if it is Carleton which is just below Pontefract.  The Pontefract having been abbreviated on the census.

I think it says "Carlton nr Ponte (then 2 little marks and a small t above)

So I think it should read " Carlton nr Pontefract

which would "fit" with this baptism
