Can you tell us what 'do'/'ditto' is in connection with please?

Couldn't find a Smithfield/Smythfield in Northumberland but found reference to one in London?

I think that "do" is probably Northumberland Annie.  :)

Nova, where do other censuses say she was born?

Added: I can't see anything remotely like it on Genuki.  :-\

Do you have them in 1891 Nova?

I'm not having any luck finding them - I was hoping that James, Margaret and Ellen would be easy to find ..... :-\

Ruskie,

I'm surprised you haven't found it on a map...you're good with mapping locations  :P

Aw, thanks Annie. Odd you should mention that - this afternoon I was foraging around on maps looking for the last address of one of my own distant relatives.  ;)

I would love to solve this but haven't found any clues as to what this place is meant to be. Maybe a local is needed as it may be a regional dialect issue, and the enumerator wrote what he thought he heard.

A search of the free index to the 1911 census shows her birthplace as 'Newbiggin Woodhorn Parish'.

I think they were married in 1893 , so I'm not sure if the 1891 census is going to help. ( 1911 says married 21 years, but pob is Newbiggin ( Woodhorn Parish)

Is her maiden name Wood? James's (5 on 1901)  mmn is Wood on Birth Reg.
