My endless thanks to the numerous enthusiastic members who tried in vain to find a place "Ramsey" in Yorkshire, the supposed birthplace of Sarah CARBON, mother of George. The transcription of the 1851 census (HO107 / 2108 folio 189 p5) gives "Ramsey, Yorkshire" and close examination of the image on FindmyPast confirms that the enumerator wrote "York, Ramsey". However, the Gazetteer published by Lincs FHS led me to believe that the village of North Rauceby (or possibly South) was a much more likely place, especially as the man she married gives his birthplace quite clearly as South Rauceby in the 1861 census and Sarah gives adjacent Sleaford. As Nivard pointed out, in the big household of the 1851 census: "There is plenty of latitude for error to creep in, the butler may not have been bothered to check for a mere servant or misunderstood what the place name was, or the enumerator made an error in transcription" I guess I cannot invite FindmyPast to alter the record, since it does accurately transcribe what was written.
