Hi Scrapper Can you give the full census reference - including the folio number? Or the names of the people as we cannot access it from the information you have given here. I could see Alston Cumberland but the Northumberland ones are defeating me so to see the rest of the image would help. Andrea PS I see there is another post on this which might help others.

1851 census Shotley low quarter 6 mosswood (looks like mopwood on census) robert lee age 26 lead miner then the place I’m not sure of (fel?) Sarah lee wife 28 (wearside?) rest of family follow and continued on the next page plus his parents (matthew and mary lee) living at no 8 mosswood
MOSSWOOD was a community that lay within the "township" of Shotley Low Quarter, which itself lay within the Parish of Bywell St Andrew.
The census enumerator spelled the name of place in the correct way of the day, using a letter " F " written backwards to signify the first of two letters " S ".
Still pronounced Mosswood.
The full page reference for Census 1851 is 2414-140- 2 and 3 Census 1861 is 3856-103-2.
The numbers to the left of addrefses are "schedules", indicating household within a chunk of the census. . 6 indicates not part of an address but the "6th" household from the start.

Do you have any info on the parents of Matthew Lee(mar to Mary Walton) c 1787 I'm thinking they may be John and Ann Hartiss but thats only from the IGI and do you know when he died I was told by someone the he died 1853 Nov but been unable to find a death certificate I've tried all the hexham office ones for 1850-61
