It does indeed look like Trowes, but I can't find one anywhere, let alone Suffolk. There's a Trowse Newton near Norwich, Norfolk.

I had a look through the list of Suffolk parishes and can't find anything that might match the name.

You're right, Andrea: I've looked at the census records and it's hard to make it anything but Trowse. Time for lateral thinking. And these Rootschatters can be very lateral!

There appears to be a Trowse on the outskirts of Norwich. Try putting it in to Google.

Have a look here Annie http://www.workhouses.org/ secect 'Workhouse Locations' then 'English Poor Law Unions' then 'Norwich' and Trowse is one of the sixteen districts it embraces.
Norfolk and Suffolk do border each other and boundaries have been known to change!

I don't think Norwich has ever been in Suffolk, though. Lateral thinking initially made me think what letters could be formed in this way, but then I wondered about another direction. The original cathedral serving E Anglia in Saxon times is located in what is now the North Sea. Perhaps it is the name of a village or hamlet that suffered a similar fate in the last 150 years?

Trying to work out what town/place this is in Suffolk. Your help greatly appreciated.
Annie
Hi,
It looks like Howes to me - do you think this hamlet is where he lived?
IMPINGTON, Cambridgeshire
The parish included part of the medieval hamlet of Howes north of the Cambridge-Huntingdon road
From: 'Impington: Introduction', A History of the County of Cambridge and the Isle of Ely: Volume 9: Chesterton, Northstowe, and Papworth Hundreds (1989), pp. 129-31. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=15359. Date accessed: 19 March 2006.
Good Luck
Rena

Hi again,
I've looked in the a2a catalogue and there's no hamlet, manor or parish with the name of Trowes. However, in the Suffolk record Office archives there is a bundle of Barnardiston family papers in which this place is mentioned:-
"Manor of Howes in Alderton".

It definitely looks like Trowse to me, too. Most of my ancestors are from Suffolk, but on occasions the Suffolk towns and villages are entered in censuses as being in Norfolk. If the information was given by a friend or family member, or if the person left the area when they were young, they may not be sure of the county.
Hope this helps,
Chris
