Help with Birthplace name in 1851 England Census
« on: Thursday 07 September 23 05:53 BST (UK) »
Hi
The place-name I'm interested in is below Croft, Yorkshire and above Bedford Row, London in the attached screenshot.
I'm seeing *therington, North'd
So, County Northumberland.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Could be a mis-heard Widdrington..
There is also a Whittingham in Northumberland.

Agree that the word starts with Whit and does look like Whitherington.  Agree that Widdrington looks most likely

If it's Margaret Allison c1786 you are interested in, then in 1841 she is living in the parish Whittingham , may be a clue?

Great answers.
I had continued to research, and was leaning heavily towards Widdrington, until I saw the Whittingham  responses.
softly softly is off course correct. I was working on Margaret Allison, and Whittingham makes the most sense.
