Carole, the place name isn't easily found. As this may be a transcription error it would be helpful if you would tell us a little more about John VERNON (there are a lot of them about) so that we can check the Census entries for you. Tell us where you saw the entries, John's age and occupation or even the Census reference numbers - that would be a good start. Ruth
