Can anyone please help me? 

I have an ancestor, John Hollis, living in Bramley and Shipley in Yorkshire for all censuses from 1841 through to 1871.

Based on this info, he was born circa 1804 but I can't work out where.

In 1841, it states 'not Yorkshire'

In 1851, it states Warwickshire.

In 1861, Reddick, Warwickshire.

In 1871, Bramley, Yorkshire.

I'm leaning towards the Warwickshire option BUT I can't find anywhere called Reddick. I've wondered whether he may have meant Redditch which of course is in Worcestershire, but I believe on the border of the two.

Could anyone familiar with the Redditch area tell me if the border may have moved, or whether he could have been born in some place within Redditch that crept over the border?

Hoping to hear from someone!
