Place recognition

Can anyone identify the name of this place please - 3rd line down.  Seems to suggest Staffordshire: ancestry has it as Mrafewood, but there doesn't seem to be anywhere with that name.

Can you give us the census reference or year of census & the person's details so we can have a look at other writing on the same page?

MAY begin with THR....??

Hi Prelli I am usually rubbish at these but I will give it a go, I found a Micklewood Stafford but the long stroke dosent match the word. Could it have an F where the long stroke is like the double f in Stafford? Other than that my first thought was Marple or Maplewood. In other words nope don't have a clue. ???  :)

Try Threapwood - it's between Cheadle and Alton Towers.

Threapwood was the best guess we had too.  But also Micklewood is a good alternative to try.  The 'downstroke' appears to one of those made by the census people who invariably covered important bits!  Thanks for trying everyone.

Prelli,
Was trying a different track to find "Where born". Unsuccessful, but in case you have not already found -

GRO Birth Registrations-
Sarah Pemberton, Wrexham, Mar Qtr 1859, Wrexham, 11b 305
Sarah Pemberton, Wrexham, Jun Qtr, 1860, Wrexham11b 336
Both with the mother's maiden name Hughes

(Couldn't find an Edward with mother's name Hughes),

FindMyPast has the marriage certificate of a James Pemberton to a Hannah Hughes, Wrexham Reg'n district, 29 Aug 1857. James' father is George -but cannot find a baptism that fits.

If not relevant, please ignore.
