ps what does it say under when born?

Where born?  It looks like Calcot near Holywell.  According the the N Wales Gazetter the alternative name is Calcoed.

Formerly is maiden name.

I was actually asking about when born not where but I am glad you misread it as I always thought Calcot was the same place as Calcoed but hadn't come accross any proof - so thanks!
