Hi everyone Looking for help reading a census entry again - 1871 /RG10/; Piece: /4954/; Folio: /36/; Page: /19 Sch 101 for Isaac DAVISON and family Place is Tow Law The address looks like Dan's Castle or Daris Castle - is anyone familiar with this place? Second question is the birthplace of Isaac's wife Maria I read it as Bawtry. The 1861 gives Weardale and the 1851 gives Stanhope Any help appreciated Heather /

Much appreciation to everyone for their comments re Dan's Castle in Tow Law. Still referring to the census entry for Isaac and Maria DAVISON in 1871 RG10/; Piece: /4954/; Folio: /36/; Page: /19 Sch 101 Can anyone locate the place of birth for Maria? Bawtry? Other census entries for Maria give her birthplace as Stanope or Weardale. Thanks Heather
