Buckinghamshire place name

[Vcela]

On the 1861 census we have an individual James Clark living Windsor Street, Shoreditch born about 1814 who gives his place of birth as Glower, Bucks.
Does anyone recognise this place name?

[Carmela]

Have you seen the image of the original page? Or is this a possible transcription error? If it is an error, the only possibility I can think of is "Stowe". An "S" could be read as a
"G" and an uncrossed "t" looks like an "l". The final "r" might be imagined from a little curlicue ending on the "e". There may be other possibilities. Perhaps someone else can think of another?
If it is definitely "Glower", then perhaps a London enumerator did not understand what Mr. Clark said with his Bucks accent. I can't think of a place that might sound like
"Glower" to a person unfamiliar with the Bucks accent.
 
Sorry, I can't be more helpful.

Hi there

Just a thought......  Could it possibly be 'Clewer'?

Good luck!!

Cuenca - The Bucks library people also suggested Clewer, which I understand is in Berkshire.
I think that what Carmela says might be right concerning the accent. It is certainly written Glower, Bucks (only the 'o' might be something else). If Clewer could become Glower than probably Berks could become Bucks.

Clewer is right on the Bucks, Berks border which makes it quite likely that is Clewer

I had wondered if Clewer might have at some point been in Bucks (in this case around 1814), but was told that it has always been in Berks.
