Hi, Fulwood, Notts as been said is a place on the Derbyshire border near Sutton-in-Ashfield, Notts. With regard to Hellson, I would have thought in the local accent as this being 'Ilson'. or 'normal' folk know it as Ilkeston, Derbys. regards Pete in Mansfield On 10 September 2013 21:49, Mrs Watson <familytree29@hotmail.com> wrote: > HelloI am trying to figure out a place of birth according to the 1861 > census: > Mary BALL born about 1808 in Notts - it looks like Hellson to me but I > can't find that on a map.

I too thought of ilson, being the local pronunciation of Ilkeston But the enumerator put Notts not Derbys, and the entry could be Hellson, rather than Hillson. This coupled with the fact that Selston is quite near Fulwood led me to that conclusion. The poster needs to find the marriage, then with her maiden name can hopefully find the Christening place.
