Can someone please help decipher this!!

But the first line is definitely scored out, Falkyrn 

I agree Wall or War something    Could it be Warwick - if you compare it with Warwickshire lower down?

I think it might be Walsall.

Might well be Wallsall , meles 

Does the scoring out read something like 'East End to London'

PS - please can someone remove the wide image

There is a Wallend in East London (Newham) .... there are also references to Kent

I don't think the crossed out bit is "London" - no tall letter. I really can't make anything out, as hard as I try.

The man in question generally calls himself James, but in 1881 calls himself John, maybe because his family, was living with his father and he also was called James.

As some of you still think there is an outside chance of his place of birth is in or around London, I did another search for births and found a John James Baily b1845 Pancras (not quite the right place I know).

I think I've developed a bad head and need to find my glasses.

Hi Gadget,
 I wonder is N.K. is Not Known and was the ennumerator giving up and put Birmingham for the rest. If that makes sense!

NK for 'not known'  has probably been written (in a different colour on the original) by the census clerk in the cesus office, who was extracting birthplaces for the statistical records, and could not decipher it.

Having had yet another look at it  I'm starting to think that the 'to' I thought in my earler posting is possibly the Lo of London. The handwriting is very scrawly and it would fit - a small lo - followed by a very scrawly ndon 

Have you checked for him on the 1851 or his father on the 1841?

Added - there are quite a few possible James Bail(l)eys b.c. 1845 with father James  in London on the 1851.
