Somerset Steele?
« on: Saturday 07 February 09 16:40 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I have a census entry (1861) for one of my ancestors and am unsure of the place of birth.  It says Somerset, then what appears to be Steele.  I have trawled the web for such a place but without success.  I've attached an image of the text - can anyone enlighten me as to where this is please?

Thanks in advance
Mike Smith

There is a Gazetteer of Somerset Place names found on County Series Maps at http://www.somerset.gov.uk/archives/ look under Maps and postcards then Maps

Hi Apollo
Can you find  this person on another census?  Maybe it will be easier to read then.

Cheers, Judith

This maybe a long shot but could it be Street - miss spelt or Theale
