If you're going to enter a pob, then this can be mistranscribed too. Also, don't assume the county was always present. This is especially true of big cities, like Newcastle, Manchester, etc. Also, don't assume the transcriber knows enough English geography to recognize Nland is an abbreviation for Northumberland, even though they're transcribing a Northumberland piece. |

Fair enough. They must have been hiding in a haystack. |

It all sounds so easy but not everyone appears in every census. |
