Title: Leominster place name - COMPLETED
Post by: MarMnkly on Sunday 28 October 18 15:28 GMT (UK)

Hello  :)
James Price born 1781 gives his place of birth in the 1861 census as "Herefordshire, Leominster, ??"
Please can anyone help read the last place name - I have attached a snip
The census reference is:
RG09 4225 Folio 34 Page 27

For reference - in 1851, he also gives his place of birth as Herefordshire. The enumerator has then written Chostry ? - HO107 2491 Folio 301 Page 14
Thanks for your help
Mar

Cholstrey?    Just to the west of Leominster  https://opendomesday.org/place/SO4659/cholstrey/

Thanks both
I'm more used to searching in Breconshire and Glamorgan, so this is new ground to me.
Cholstrey seems like a good mix of the census transcriptions of Chostry and Chilstree
