Hello Listers. Could I once again enlist your help in a census entry. The information I require is the birth place of John Deeming found on the 1851 at Grendon HO107; Piece: 2064; Folio: 164; Page: 3; GSU roll: 87323. The entries are John Deeming born 1775 Leicestershire and what has been transcribed as Stupy? Alice Deeming wife 1776 Austy Warwickshire which I think should be Ansty Ann Bell 1811 Baddesley. I know some of you are extremely good at reading these bad entries. Would someone please have a look and see what they make of the entries please, I would be very grateful Thanking you Norma

Norma: John DEEMING, Head, Mar, 76, Retired Coal Miner, Leicestershire Sheepy Alice DEEMING, Wife, Mar, 75, -, Warwickshire Ansley Ann BALL, Visitor, W, 40, Dress Maker, Warwickshire Badesley. The LDS Warwickshire 1851 census CD has a couple of mistakes in this transcription.

This word looks as though it has been altered, badly! I think the first two characters are St (see the t of Atherstone just below). Then there is a character that cannot even be guessed at, followed by two characters the first of which has a descending stroke and the second an ascending stroke, possibly pt or pl, and then possibly another character and the final character is y (see Anstey, Baddesley, etc., below). The letter with the ascending stroke might be b. The only parish in Leicestershire that begins with St and ends in y is Stonesby, which doesn't fit particularly well. It doesn't have to be a parish, of course, but Kain and Oliver 'Historic parishes of England and Wales' which, in spite of its name, lists hamlets and townships that are not parishes, does not have anything that fits in Leicestershire. When I get this problem I usually end up searching the baptismal register of the likely parishes, and I think if I didn't have any luck with Stonesby, I would try the other parishes starting with S and ending with y, of which, unfortunately, there are quite a number because of the frequency of the -by ending in that part of the world. They include Saxby, Saxelby, Shearsby, Shoby, Sileby, Somerby, and Sysonby besides Stonesby. Good luck!

Hi Norma The best I can come up with is Sheepy - there is a Sheepy Magna and a Sheepy Parva in Leicestershire. Perhaps it was abbreviated to Sheepy? The other place is definitely Ansty.
