Hi,
I am trying to work out the name of this street in Nottingham. It's in the parish of St Mary, Ecclesiastical district of The Holy Trinity in Nottingham.
It's the census record for William Hawtin born 1818 in Morton, Nottingham.
I've tried to make out the other streets on pages close to this entry without success. I can't tell if it's a C or an L at the start of the word.
Thank you

Looks like 10 Crop Court
Which census is it?
-
Sorry, I meant to add that. It's 1851. Thank you

In 1861 there is a William Hawtin b 1852 with grandmother at Capon Court Notts
