(above, Cheshire)

thanks Margaret caenarvon is north wales also,she put different places of birth for my ggrandfather on the census, crewe and Wrexham, he also put festiniog,i will start looking again tomorrow.

Place of birth on the 1901 census on Ancestry has been transcribed as Cornwood but original says Carnavon.

I agree on Wrexham.

well Wrexham is in north wales so maybe I should start there,why did she put Caernarvonshire on the 1901 census,

I think the 81 census says North Wales for place of birth.

Ancestry's transcription of the 1891 census says her birthplace was Westham, Wales.

I think it says Wrexham.


In 1881, I think it might say North Wales ???

thanks Margaret I will try looking at wrexham

thanks for your replies,pricklyholly will see if westham comes up in wales,thanks

1891 census on Ancestry has her mis-transcribed as Ann Tones. It says born Westham, Wales. The original looks more like Wrestham but I can't find any such place, could it be Wrexham?
