Where is Nuncham?

[Lady Di]

I've found an ancestor (1851 census) who's reputed to have been born at Nuncham (Nuncharn?) Gloucestershire but I can't find that on any of my maps. Have they moved or renamed the place or does it normally go under another well known name? 

Thanks

Newnham seems the nearest likely place http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/GLS/Parishes.html#N . What is the census reference? Is he in other censuses?

Thanks Stan. I'll look for the reference but the 1851 has Ann SPURGIN, aged 58, Nurse, Widow - born Nuncham so you'll probably find it faster that way. I'll post the ref ASAP anyway.

1851 reference is:

HO107; Piece: 1618; Folio: 402; Page: 3

Chart Sutton Kent

Edit to add:

Did a general search of 1851 with simply a keyword of "Nuncham" and it appears to be in any of three places - Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire or Northamptsonshire 

That doesn't help as it's still not showing on any of my maps

I think that the Oxfordshire one is supposed to be Nuneham (Courtenay)

Excellent - thanks Rosie, it's a starting place to look for her birth anyway.

And in Northamptonshire is a Newnham, near Daventry

Have looked at the image, appears to be Nuneham - so perhaps Newnham on Severn in Gloucestershire

Thanks for your help mgeneas

I'll recheck all those places but so far I haven't found a baptism for Ann Coleman (abt 1792) at any of them. I'll keep looking but do appreciate everyone's ideas and assistance.

Thanks a lot
