Hi Guys I’m looking for the birthplace of my gg grandfather I only have 1 cencus record for him in 1891 just can’t figure out what it says. It’s the one with the black line through it.

Could you give us the census ref no? it starts RG12/ . . . . so we can compare the writing on the rest of the page.

Hi yeah the number is RG12 2480.

there should be two more numbers folio and page

I haven't seen the original, but on the basis of macwil's interpretation and another look at the extract, how about Hook Norton, Oxon? (It looks to be written Hooknorton, Oxen.)

The full ref will look like this
Class: RG12; Piece: 2091; Folio: 33; Page: 6;
or possibly this
RG12/2091/33/6

It can usually be found in the citation details of the record.

Very good Arthurk. I concur.

I just couldn't work out the county, even though the only one beginning with O is Oxfordshire. I'd forgotten it is often shortened to Oxon.

Sorry for the belated response. Thanks very much macwil and arthurk. Hook norton Oxfordshire I wouldn’t have got that in a month of Sunday’s.

Thanks again.
