Find Ancestors

I am having the greatest difficulty, despite help from kind folk, in finding the birth of Daniel Cork(e) in 1845. On various census forms it states Chelsea Middlesex/Surrey. His father is Richard.

His mother Jane, on the 1861 census is shown as being born in .................? Surrey. Could anyone transcribe this place for me just in case Daniel was born there too.

Hope this makes sense. Thanks.

can you post the 1861 cencus for info.

Hi Richard, I don't have access to Ancestry etc.. but I did go to the library ages ago and printed it off. On my version it doesn't give her birthplace, but someone who looked it up for me said it looked like Chiping or Che....? I can only find Chipping Norton or Chipping Campden neith of which are in Surrey. Was just hoping someone could access the original for me and give me another viewpoint.

is this them?

Hi, yes and thanks.......but there is no such place.......is there? I can't find it!

Chertsey? havent looked at the image.

did you write down the RG numbers of any of the census

Definitely Chertsey

yes Chertsey

Cheam?

Iv`e just had a look at it.... it looks like chip.....? squiggle......

I wonder if its Chipstead or Chingford or Chidden or even Cheam..... I don`t think the enumerator finshed writing the word.... I wouldn`t have thought any of those places would be considered to be near Chelsea, I havn`t seen Chelsea described as being in Surrey, its usually Middlesex or London.

Remeber if you are struggling to find a birth record that registeration wasn`t compulsory until 1875 so he may not have been registered.

Thanks Minnie and Sam, will go and google!

(Minnie, I'm learning bit by bit to take more notice of such details - must do better!)

There don't seem enough letters for Chertsey?

there is a Chislet, Kent

it is written Chersy there isn't a P in it.

Can't find the family in 1851 ...

Heavens, I can't keep up with you all !! Thank you for all the ideas, was the writing really so bad? Maybe I will have to take them one at a time. I just hope he was registered and baptised....somewhere!
Very grateful to you all. It's funny how everyone sees things differently. Thanks again.
ps. They definitely aren't in the 1851 - don't know why but it's a pain tracing them.
