Where (the heck) is Toling? (COMPLETED)
« on: Friday 07 August 15 15:43 BST (UK) »
This isn't really a legibility question, the writing is quite clear, in this 1851 census from Norfolk.

(Class: HO107; Piece: 1795; Folio: 621; Page: 6

But it says "Surrey, Toling", and there's not such place (sayeth Google).

Can anyone suggest what it really says (or ought to say...) ?

The lines above and below say "Suffolk Thrandeston" and provided excellent writing samples.

I could do you a Tolworth in Surrey?  Did the person in question survive to the 1861 and later censuses?

Of course not! That would make this far too easy...

Died 1858.  ;)

I've started tracking backwards, and it appears her maiden name was "Mary Ann Englefield", who married Thomas Rix of Thrandeston in 1830, at Beccles.

And Tooting Graveney became "Tooting", "Sarf London"  :)
