No, sorry I made a typo - it should have been 1851 census. The reference is HO 107/2185 Pg. 561. Rose Epsom Downs/UK

Hello Rose I think the third letter is 'n' not 'r' which makes it Bentle which I am guessing is phonetic spelling for Benthall. Next problem, there are two completely unrelated places with that name in Shropshire, one is just over 2 miles east of Alberbury and the other is 1 mile west of Broseley. The former is little more than a farm name so I would suggest the latter is your best bet. Benthall was a Chapelry of Much Wenlock ancient parish, becoming a separate ecclesiastical parish in 1735. There is an indexed transcript of the registers 1558-1812 at Shropshire Archives with later registers being on microfiche.
