I have a rellie who states on the 1861 census that he was born in Odd !!!, Cheshire.

Then in the 1891 census he is recorded as being born in Scholar Green, Cheshire.

Has anyone a clue where these places are please?

Scholar Green is south-west of Congleton.

There are lots of people on the census from Odd Rode.
