1851 Census birthplace query
« on: Saturday 15 October 22 19:48 BST (UK) »
Hi, I am posting this with regard to my 4x g-grandmother Sarah Green (Harling), b. circa 1822 in Preston (according to 1861 and 1871 censuses), however in the 1851 census (below) she is stated as born somewhere else, and I can't seem to read it. To me it looks like 'Capinborough', but obviously that can't be right. I would be very grateful if anyone had any other suggestions, thank you!

I am very certain she is that Sarah Harling, as her marriage certificate states her father as a Robert Harling, Labourer. I didn't know her baptism details however so that is a fantastic find and seems to confirm a tentative idea I had that her parents were Robert and Agnes (McEwan) so thank you!
