Ceal, These are definitely different places. Mecklenburg is divided into two: Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Pommern. Wuerrtemburg is the most likely spelling that was misspelled on the 1870 census. You will probably need more information than this to locate them. Get a copy of the marriage record if it is a later one, it may have info on it if it was after 1900.
