That's obviously a mistranscription or bad recording. Can't think offhand what it could be. Where was everyone else born and where were they living at the time of the census? nell |

the trouble is each one was born at a different address acording to the census the youngest being born in Kent I have been trying to find his birth but no luck as without a proper area there are too many to look through |

Valerie Have looked at my gazetteer and there are about 13 possibilities beginning with D: I would have thought Detling looks the closest. the others are: Dargate Deal Dover Dean Street Densole Denton Derringstone Ditton Doddington Downe Drellingore I come from Kent myself and I haven't heard of half of these! Good luck Helen P.S. Is it worth trying Free BMD - was he born before 1837? |
