Re: name place in shropshire
Is this a transcription, or is that what the image says?
I've had a quick look but I couldn't find her on FMP, where was she living in 1851?

Re: name place in shropshire
How about Marchamley in North Shropshire?
Remember that many people couldn't spell including enumerators who were conducting the census.
If it turns out not to be Marchamley, Google 'places in Shropshire'.
Good luck.

Re: name place in shropshire
Thank you all for your replies. I e-mailed the Shropshire Archives and they told me the name was probably Marchamley,so I shall go with that .
Thanks again Pat
