I cannot seem to make it out myself.

Pulestone is it? I cannot find any place called that.

Looks like you haven't tried very hard to search  :-\ Putting 'Pulestone Chetwynd' into Google comes up right away with Puleston, Chetwynd which is a hamlet in the civil parish of Chetwynd.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Ah, It wouldnt come up as a place when I tried setting it as the birth on Ancestry. Nightmare. Thank you for your help!

There are many actual places that don't come up as locations in Ancestry, Family Search and other sites so you shouldn't rely on them.

and it is really annoying when they just used that large place name themselves! I remember family tree maker/ancestry insisting Romney Marsh and New Forest were not place names. ( they are Registration Districts as well)
