Hi, I think I may have located my great grandmother aged 2 on the familysearch 1881 census but a bit confused by the birthplace it's shown as M E N T, Middlesex, does anybody know where or what this refers to, I have done a look up on 1901 census and found what I think is her record and birthplace is shown as whitechapel.

Hi I am almost sure it stands for Mile End New Town and i have had a look at the registration districts aswell and Whitechapel is the registration district for M E N T. Regards Sharon

Being born in Mile End myself feel a bit stupid now ,just didn't make the connection, well it was just Mile End in the 1970's. Thankyou all Nikii
