Mis-Spelling on 1911 English Census..?
« on: Wednesday 08 April 09 13:51 BST (UK) »
Hello all............Wonder if anyone can help, have been helping a distant relative of my husbands do her tree. We have found her Grandmother in St Annes on Sea in 1911 married with 2 children..Her place of birth is written as Monuaghan,Loughagnesh,Ireland.

I take it that this was meant to be Co Monaghan..but can anyone throw a light on the other name ???
The census was filled in by her husband so he may have spelt if as he heard it, allowing for the charming Irish accent..!!

Any ideas would be most welcome as our relie never knew her Grandmother, other than she had been Irish, this census has been the  first light on where she may have come from..
Many thank.............LancsLass.

Hi Hallmark......Have just sent off the possible place name. Have to say it looks quite a good possibility looking at the actual copy of the census. Allowing for the fact that it was written by her husband, who probebly had no idea where it might be..?

our relie sends her thanks....
