I think its definitely a 't' at the end - I thought maybe Lowyeat or Low something.  I keep googling and coming up blank!

Looks like two separate words too.

Hi everyone,

According to the 1841 census, neither Abraham nor Isabella were born in county ??

Kind regards,

Pels.

Hi Roger

Given this guy's handwriting, it could be almost anything!!  But Westmorland has to be in the frame  

Looking at the link that Geoff-E posted, there is a list of names mentioned on the site.  If you look at

www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=49334#s9

and search for Howyeat, it gives

Howyeat, Crosthwaite

Crosthwaite is 5 miles west of Kendal, in Westmorland in 1851.

So my money is on Howyeat, somewhere near Crosthwaite

Hi Pels

Did you see them in Westmorland? I am wondering if the first word is short for Cumberland - Clan as the first two letters look very similar to the word Clerk further down the page.

If you put Abraham Slaton, age 30 and living in the civil parish of Grasmere, Westmorland into the search !!

Sorry I nearly missed you with it turning the page, I agree, the letters do look the same .. but not sure about Cumberland ??

Added: The enumerator doesn't appear to have abbreviated county names on further pages, he's written them out in full ?
