Somewhere in Scotland

Hi
Can anyone decipher the place of birth for this person
Its the 5th line up from the bottom and from the 1851 census
It looks something like Stichold but I can't find anywhere like that
Thanks

Do you have the person in the 1861 by any chance?

The place does look  like Stie/Stic hold ....

Wondering if it could be a wrongly written  Stichill* in Roxburghshire.

* could have said something sounding like Sticholl(d)

Thanks for helping
Yes I have him in several later census but his place of birth is just Scotland

Have you found a baptism for this person which may give you a clue?

[hiyamarra]

Hi
Thanks for replying
The reason Im trying to work out where he was born is so that I can look for his baptism and hopefully his parents

[Girl Guide]

Are you willing to give us his name and year of birth so that others can have a look and see if we can find anything?

[hiyamarra]

With pleasure
From census his year of birth varies, but around 1832
His name from census and other documents is Matthew Dewsnip, Dewsnap. Dewsnop, Dowsnip and best of all, Parsnip

Okay, I'm just about to have some tea, so I'll have a poke around a bit later.  Do you have the marriage for Matthew?  What is his occupation?

What is the census reference for the snippet that you gave with his birth place on it?
