Help to read place name - Norwich census - COMPLETED
« on: Thursday 07 May 09 21:36 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Can anyone help read this place name that is on the 1841 Census?  The City is Norwich and the parish is St Peter Hungate.  I can read the Elm Hill but want to decypher the writing above that.  Maybe it's something West?

Census extract is Crown Copyright, The National Archives.

Yes - if we know the image reference we can look at the previous and following pages to see if it is reproduced more clearly.

Good luck

Hi,

Sorry, didn't point out that the Census reference is in the image name:

HO107-0790-06-4A-25.  Just realised that "4A" is on the facing folio so Page 25 is probably folio 4.

I think the second word is 'Court'. The first word is possibly Crown.
It appears also on folio 4 page 24.

This is on the facing page (folio 4A, P26).  Is it the same?  I can make out "Court" as the second word.
