A place called "Callcott"?
« on: Saturday 08 December 12 22:15 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone,

I am trying to find a birth record for one of my ancestors, Sarah EDWARDS.  She was born some time between 1810 and 1815 depending on which census record is accurate. 

I have census records for 1851, 1861 and 1871 when she lived in Malpas with her husband John CLUTTON.  Cannot find a 1841 census record as I think it is probably within the 'missing data' from that census.  On the census records her place of birth is listed as follows.

1851   Callcott
1861   Malpas
1871   Callcott Green

I'm thinking the 1861 record may be erroneous (her record was just a 'ditto' of her husband's record on the line above and he was born in Malpas).

My question is  ..  Where is Callcott / Callcott Green?   

I cannot seem to find a record anywhere of a place with this name in Cheshire.  Any suggestions or clues would be very welcome.

Thanks,

Phil

Thanks everyone, this really helps as I now have a great lead on Sarah's baptism.  I guess I need to get better at spelling variation ...

Thanks again,

Phil
