The 1851 entry looks like Lubsill (which doesn't help much).
The ancestor appears to be James Green bc 1777, indexed as James Groen in 1851.

Indeed -  looked up 1851 Greon (had to redeem myself for earlier distractions) with no success.

Would be very happy to look at original if I could find it.

Found the 1861 entry via Lobsile (unsurprisingly the only person born there!) and the 1851 entry (after some difficulty) - it's HO107/1846/362 - via Britford where they were living in 1841 and 1861.
Still didn't help with the birhplace though.

 :'( No i agree. That means that we are actually here in Dorset... Freds up the road in the new forest and between us we've been no help at all. LOL. I have a feeling that James seemed to name that place very particularly. The spelling in the 61 is very precise and the enumerator has just made abit of a scruffy entry in the 51 but you can see it is the same place. I have a feeling that as James was born in 1777 we are going to find out sometime soon that this was actually a real village and through time just had its name changed. Maybe James never had cause to go to that area again and never knew.

       sorry couldnt be anymore help Darcy......cheryle

I've also tried variants of Lob's Hill without success.

Thinking seriously about this, I'm trying to remember where I've seen a "Lobshill". I'm sure it rings a bell but it may just be a farm name. I'll have a look on the 1st edition OS maps - it's surprising how names changed or were mis- recorded. Ibsley, for instance, is "Ibbesley" on the old map.

Found it, I reckon and no wonder it rang a bell- it's only a few miles away- 2 miles West of Fordingbridge alongside Crendle Common. On the 1st edition OS map, it looks like "Lobsell" next to a farm.

I've just checked it out on the modern map and it is now called "Lopshill" 3kms East of Cranborne at SU 090138.
