Can anyone read this place?

Thanks for the continuing help- I can't get the place link to work though? Might be me being thick...

I'm giving up for now, head hurting!

Old place names of Northumberland.

The W's begin on page 204.

It's because it's linked to Phoggets C drive.

There used to be a very good listing but it's disappeared. I was hoping that JenB would see the thread and have ideas about the location or link to the listing site.

If it is Newcastle area, it might not be on the listing.  He does seem to have pent most of his life in the area.

Well till he went to Australia! I found on Trove that he received a pardon in 1849 on condition he never returned to Britain or Ireland. Wonder if he stuck to it, his daughter married for a third time in 1874- she sadly lost two husbands to mining accidents- and a mysterious Thomas Wilkinson has signed her marriage cert as witness with a mark... I say mysterious as he is not related to her as far as we know- the only Thomas Wilkinson in the family is her nephew and he could write very well so wouldn't leave a mark.

Maybe this is a possibility. There is a Warreners  just to the north of Fairmoor,  Morpeth. It is in the Ward of Pegswood and parish of Hebron.  It is also marked on the Northumberland and Durham Waggonways site Tile No. NZ1585

Was it the Farm Index you were thinking of? (I think that is names taken from the 1861 census.)

Try this to get to the 'place name' link given by Phodgetts
https://altogetherarchaeology.org/links.php
Scroll down to 'Place names', it's the first one on the left.

It does look like Warreners and there is a baptism in Morpeth on Freereg but it says resident of Morpeth...

Hello, I’m jumping across from the Australia board where you started this.

Sometimes ex-convicts did return home to Britain. It was not very common however, because it required funds.
I have looked further at your Thomas Wilkinson …..
Ship records show he departed from Launceston, Tasmania on 6 Jan 1852 on board “Sea Witch” bound for Melbourne. Under the terms of his conditional pardon, he was allowed to do this.
Then in June 1857 there is a Thomas Wilkinson (age 50) departing Melbourne on board “Montmorency” bound for Liverpool.
It is hard to know if this is your Thomas – the age is an approx. fit.
Perhaps you should look out for him in the 1861 -71 census back in England.

Thank you so much, that's very interesting, I think he might have came back then. I did find a Thomas Wilkinson in nearby Pelton born Wallsend as  I recall but he was married with a family, I wonder if that family postdates 1857? Time to look!

Thanks to everyone who has helped, this has been really exciting,

Hi, I would give my vote for a mishearing of the name "Wallsend".
As a Geordie, I would think if you were to say it in a very broad Geordie accent it would sound something like, "Wahl-zen".
The "d" might not have been sounded at all.
