Thanks Stan, Shropshire Archives couldn't find it!! They said it was near Lincoln Hill, Ironbridge, as that was next on the 1881 census. Jayne

I have my doubts that the present day Foresters Arms, is the same one in the 1871 census

Telford Shrops is now all roundabouts and new builds. Only the very old buildings remaining are mainly around the riverside area.
I'm going to Ironbridge Gorge Museum/library to see if they can help.

The last census reference I can find is a single entry in 1901 - 2526  63  7(Joseph Evans age 36-Stirrups Fold Madeley)
This property is listed next to Belle Vue Lane,Belle Vue House and a Lincoln House.There is a current listing for a Lincoln House,Ironbridge- postcode  TF8 7QG.
Hopefully this may provide another approximate location
