Deciphering place name in Warwickshire on census image
« on: Sunday 11 March 18 17:15 GMT (UK) »
Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help decipher this birthplace on a 1851 census image.  Transcription says Barkswite but I can't find any mention of that name, so would like to confirm if it's correct.

Probably Barkswell aka Berkswell.
