1851 Census lookup Warwick - Willetts

Hi,

Could someone look up Esther Willetts b. about 1797 in the 1851 Census please. At this time she was living in Warwick St Nicholas. I would like to know where she was born.

Regards

Simon

Hi

I had a look too. I think the page says "grocer and green grocer" and the place of birth is "Oxen Great Bourton".

The writing is appalling but the the place is definitely "Oxen Great something" - I then looked up all the places beginning with Great in my AA road atlas, found that Great Bourton is in Oxfordshire, and went back and checked the scan. I'm almost sure that's what it is.

Hope this helps.

Many thanks, this might point me in the right direction for finding out  Esther's maiden name. The second name should have been Willitts, bad writing or just the same problem I've had all my life!
