Eric, I believe that the birthplace will continue to be given in the census, no matter whether she is with her parents or not. Sometimes, it is useful for me to put all the birthplaces together, and it turns out that in one census, the town name was given, in the next the village, and in the next, even a property name, so I have to make a 'soup" of the names to determine where it is. Of course, I am in Virginia, and have only made it to Cheshire once, so none of names are easy for me. Sorry, I do not know where Pounsworth is.

Cheshire In the 1851 census I have Jane LEIGH, unmarried, aged 20 in Heaton Mersey Stockport. Her birth place is given clearly as Pounsworth, Cheshire but that is a new placename for me as a lifelong Cheshire resident. The 1841 census does not help in this and by 1861 she is not with her parents. Any ideas please? Mobberley area perhaps?
