1881 England census - Illegible birth place

[ravenseft]

This is from the 1881 census for Portsea.
The entry reads as follows:

Amelia Chambers - Cousin - Unm[arried] - 40 - Charwoman - Unite/White/Thite Porride

It is the last part of the entry (concerning the birth place) which needs deciphering (White Porride or similar). Any help gratefully accepted.

The first letter is a T. See Tailor in last entry of page

So Thite.  Could it be something like Thwaite?

Parade like by the sea 

Can you find her on previous (or later) census to see what birthplace she has on there?

Hi and welcome to RootsChat Ravenseft....I wonder it it could be White Parade.

Unfortunately not, neither on a previous nor a subsequent census. Even the birth date doesn't help as, assuming she was born in England or Wales, there's no Amelia Chambers born in the years 1840-43. For 1838 and 1839, there are two born in Medway and one in Whitechapel. It's frustrating as it is the only unreadable entry on the page and I've pored over it for two years now.

There seems to be a dotted i in the second word. Could it be “Parrish”?
Whiteparish in Salsibury? ?

The second word looks like Porwick to me...

[ravenseft]

Lots of plausible suggestions. Porwick is a good one. Whiteparish could work but I have difficulty making out the 's' in the second word.

One other thing which could help - looking at the method used by the enumerator, he/she often uses two words for the place name - the county/country first, then the place (e.g. Hants Portsea, Scotland Stirling).

My first thought is that the first word is the county, followed by the place. I still don't know what it says though
