It could be Ottringham. It's south east of Hull in East Yorkshire.

Hi Mog

If you are able to access A********* on the search page of the census year
in question you can scoll to the bottom and it lists all the counties.

By selecting the one you need it will give you all the places listed for that area.

If you already know this sorry.

Thanks for your replies
The person in question was actually living in Nottingham but born in Yorkshire.
So I guess you just have to try to read it ?
