Deciphering a birth place
« on: Wednesday 27 November 24 01:30 GMT (UK) »
Hi, would someone be able to identify what this word is? This is on a census records in England from 1871. The section is 'where born.' I can see the one above is Suffolk....but I can not work out what the one beneath it is. I have attached a photo and underlined the word. Thank you!
