If anybody would like to see the whole page for
that particualr census to compare the handwriting,
then -click here- to see it (you need acrobat reader to view it).

I've also attached another image of the writing again - perhaps this might be a little clearer.

I clicked on 'click here' and got a load of gobble-de-gook

Thank you sir, for your very quick attention and correction of Link.
It now works perfectly, although a bit slow - must make a mental note to upgrade to BroadBand.

Thankyou

Thank you for all the ideas.

We have found Ann Townson on the 1881 census on FamilySearch, at 14 Quay St Manchester, an address we also have on her daughter's birth certificate in 1884, and her birth place is shown as Denbigh, Wales.  We tried to find a birth/christening for her, as Ann Jones, father Richard Jones, in 1840 =/- 5yrs, for Denbigh, Wales, and found 2 options, both in 1835, a bit early from her given age on later census and certificates.  However, one place was Llandyrnog, (for an Ann without an 'e'), and the other was Llansilin, Denbigh, (Anne).

Not sure if all this helps or not, but any advice still welcomed.  Thanks again

There is a hamlet near Denbigh called Tremeirchion. It's down the road from Llandyrnog. Is it possible that this was how the census-taker interpretted it?
