Not quite an interloper..... after a quick look at the census, he was the son of Henry Percy Fenwick attorneys clerk of Newcastle and grandson of John Fenwick of Newcastle attorney at law who was living in some style at Leazes Terrace in 1861. This would need backing up with primary sources but it appears he was a Geordie once removed :-) Amusingly this 1861 census entry puts Newcastle in LEBANON!

These transcription errors usually come about from the use of drop-down lists by the transcribers. They type in the first few letters and the list 'suggests' a possbile placename which is very easy for the transcriber to select. The 1861 census on Ancestry reveals that no fewer than 360 people were born in 'Western Sahara' Durham, England, although they were born in Esh. ESH is the three letter country code for Western Sahara, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-3 Stan On 3 March 2011 10:50, gen listlass <genlistlass@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Not quite an interloper.....  after a quick look at the census, he was the son of Henry Percy Fenwick attorneys clerk of Newcastle and grandson of John Fenwick of Newcastle attorney at law who was living in some style at Leazes Terrace in 1861.
