In 1861 at RG 9; Piece: 1441; Folio: 87; Page: 35 I have Thomas Cross.
Can anybody "translate" his birthplace!?!
-
Axworthy :-\
-
Oh Yes ::)
Should have gone to Specsavers, Michael.
Thanks Rosie.

His birthplace is given as Thrushelton in other censuses.
Baptism, Thrushelton parish church
12 August 1832
Thomas Cross, son of Edmund (a labourer) and Dionysia, of Axworthy.
-
Now that's very interesting!
Where is Axworthy by the way. Google maps refuses to show me.
-
It is (or was?) a hamlet in Thrushelton by the looks of it. Not my area, sorry.
-
Nor mine ;D
-
Offering you a grid reference! But not a map which is prepared to name either Thrushelton or Axworthy.

Edit: sorry, it does name Axworthy if you zoom in enough.
