Hi,
 In the 1851 census (RG  H0107  Piece 1980  Folio 307 Page  10) my 3 x Great Grandfather, Isac Hall (b 1873) put Strilary,Shropshire as his place of birth.
 Now,I've never heard of this place, so does it exist or is it an old name for a current town/village or did it get lost in translation between Isac and the census taker?
 Any thoughts and/or help would be great.
       Thanks,
            Johnee.

Hi Johnee,

I wonder if this would help, to save people checking the census :

    Good idea,Pels.

How about

Stanton Lacy

I know that its hard to make that from the census but the last lour letters look like lery, lary or lacy and Stanton Lacy is the only one that fits that - and there is an Isaac Hall baptised there in 1774

  Thanks for that Davidft,that could be the answer.

Have you checked where they were in the census either side of this one? May be more legible???

Hi Sue,
     Yes I've tried those.Unfortunately he died in 1858 and in the 1841 returns he gave no place of birth.
      Thanks anyway,
                    Johnee.
