Hard to read census return
« on: Wednesday 08 October 08 14:45 BST (UK) »
hi all i have been helped phenominally by a member of this board so would like to give a big thankyou!

BUT i have another problem i have a census return for 1861
stating a surname i cannot read and a place i cannot read, the place name looks like GUSELHAM IN YORKSHIRE? does anyone know of this place or what it could actually be?

the census return if any one can see it is for 1861 and the family is GREY
theres an ABEL HEAD ANNE WIFE CHILDREN OF MATHEW THOMAS MARY MARIA AMY SUSANNE AND THEN THE MOTHERIN LAW who i cannot read bar the name Anne!

Hi Acarragon,

Mum in law's surname looks like Coates to me.

Place name - Gurdham maybe?

Could it be Gardham?
There is a High Gardham and Low Gardham to the west of Beverley.
