what does it mean

[edwinwrg]

I am trying to find what the place name is on the 1861 census
RG9 365 page30 for Jane Gledill age 47 it has it down as Cackwool,yorkshire. Can someone please help me as I can't seem to find any place like that.

Hi Edwin,

It looks like Cuckwool or Cuckwod to me?



Have you checked her birthplace on any other census?

Hmmm...I don't know.  It looks like Cuckwool or Cuckwod/Cuckwood to me, but I can't find any of those in Yorkshire.  (To assist others who may wish to look, the surname is actually GLEDHILL and the folio number is 99).

In 1851 she gives a different Yorkshire birthplace which looks like Newboy or Newbry - again rather mystifying. (HO107/2319 folio 642 p38)

I can't easily find her in 1871 - had she died by then?

Many thanks for help so far.
Jane died Mar Qtr of 1871 so that was just before 1871 census took place

Could it be Cudworth near Barnsley

I know this isn't what the enumerator has written, but there is a place called Coxwold near Thirsk,  and a place called Newburgh Grange not far from there.

Now that is very good as i suppose our accents got in the way of pronouncing the correct name
I have just come across a Newby Wiske as well.  I was expecting the name to be in the Leeds area as not only did Husband Henry Gledhill come from there but so were his children born there.

I know Newbry is a place either in Scarborough or just on the outskirts..
