Where is Wigrone?
« on: Thursday 18 October 12 13:50 BST (UK) »
On the 1851 census for Hornsey Middlesex William Page bn Hornsey 1767 is wife Ann.  Ann is shown as born Wigrone Berkshire but I can find no reference to this place. Any ideas anyone?

I wondered if it might be Wargrave too- but it seems to have a dot over the second letter suggesting an I ?

yes I noticed the dot too but ignoring it, Wargrave was the closest I could get to the rest of the squiggle  :D
