Can't see a likely birthplace for Fanny Hunt born 1838 +/- a year on Freebmd.

I thought the last word could be Africa.... and have been Googling for help. I can't find much direct info.... just tours mentioning the word. Gwyn

Have had no luck finding George Barrow or Fanny Hunt in 1851. Can't see anything resembling Mogden/Mogdon/Mogdor in streetmap uk.

I have had a look at a map of Angelsey, there are places called Moelfre and Marian-Glas. I think that pronunciation could account for what was written down by the enumerator. I wonder if any of the Welsh GR members might be able to interpret what the real name of the place could be? Christina

Anyone think the last word looks like Africa?

Hm, I see they got their best handwriter to do this page! It looks to me like Mogden East Coast of Apirsey But what it should be is beyond me. I'll take a look at other censuses. nell

Thanks everyone, good luck :-)

Off to look now, Sue.

I'm looking a the image - I think that it says East Coast of Angelsey. I think that Reg is right about these being George's stepchildren, the children of his late wife by an earlier marriage. Christina

Second question first...........the Hunts are both unmarried, so probably step-children. 'In-law' was commonly used to denote step-children in those days. Reg

Any idea what this birth place is likely to be? Also, how can George be FIL to both of them? 1861 Name: Fanny Hunt Age: 23 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1838 Relation: Daughter-in-law Gender: Female Where born: Mogdore East Cocet of Apeses Civil parish: Stepney Ecclesiastical parish: Trinity Town: London County/Island: Middlesex Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: View image Registration district: Mile End Old Town Sub-registration district: Mile End Old Town Eastern ED, institution, or vessel: 16 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 137 Household Members: Name Age George Barrow 44 Fanny Hunt 23 Samuel Hunt 27

Please hold..... :-)
