Where is this?
« on: Sunday 22 May 16 09:17 BST (UK) »
In the 1911 census, I come across a place called (or at least looks like) Cornsall.(numerator has scribbled Worcestershire next to it).
I cannot find this place. Any help appreciated.

 ;D ;D ;D   Just about to post the same reference! 

Looks as though the enumerator couldn't spell very well!

CAUNSALL - that sounds logical. Especially as Wiki says its close to Cookley and Wolverley which is the area I'm interested in at the mo.

Thanks people  ;D
Mike

Later Just come across another Cornsall. Maybe they filled it in as Caunsall is pronounced in a Worcestershire accent.

Hi There

I used to live in Kidderminster & one set of my grandparents lived at Cookley which is next to Caunsall - Our firm also used to deliver grocery to both Cookley & Caunsall

All the very best

Its the 1911, so the Householder filled it in ....... agreed that somebody else (Census Clerks ?) scribbled in 'Worcestershire'  ....
