Where's Henson?
« on: Sunday 21 June 09 22:04 UTC (UK) »
One of my ancestors gives her birthplace as 'Stafford' in the 1851 census and 'Henson' in the 1861.

Has anyone any idea where Henson might be/have been?

thanks  Smiley

Hi aitch

this is quite humourous - considering your rootschat name  Grin  Grin  Grin

But I think it is probably ENSON - no aitch!!   I found only 8 or so people in all census stating Henson as a pob. One was a man who in a later Census, stated "Enson". In other Census he says "Stafford".

Ha!  Great bit of deduction Ambly!  Thanks very much for that.  I had wondered if it was a mis-transcription, but that's more often the case if they were living in a different county from their pob - but they were only living 'down the road' in Stone.

Maybe she was just trying to make Enson sound posh!!

Thanks again for your help!
