    1. Water Orton?
    2. Earl Chapman
    3. Hi, On the 1881 CD Census, one of my GIBBONS ancestors, claimed she was born in Water Orton, Worcester. But isn't Water Orton just west of Birmingham in Warwickshire? Is this simply a transcription error? Here is the list of censuses and her reported place of birth: 1861 - Worcester 1871 - Worcester, Worcestershire 1881 - Water Orton, Worcester 1891 - Birmingham Can anyone make some sense of this? Any help greatly appreciated. Regards, Earl Chapman Montreal, Canada
