It is census '1851 England Census, Staffordshire West Bromwich West Bromwich North 1z' and near a cole mine I assume! I can't figure out what it says. Thank you

Hi  :)

It looks like Lynn. There is no Lynn nowadays in West Brom, but there is a place called The Lyng.
Best wishes, Judy :-))

Rosie

I'm still thinking its Lyne - That last letter looks like an 'e' rather than an 'n'.

According to BHO - British History Online the name Lyne was used in the early development of the West Bronwich area:

I think it is Lyne:

Quote
The chief settlement in the parish until the 19th century was Lyndon to the south of All Saints' Church. The church itself can be traced from the earlier 12th century (fn. 1) and the name Lyndon from the earlier 14th; (fn. 2) the name Lyne was also used. (fn. 3)

From West Bromwich, the growth  of the town
