Thank you Chris that is very good. By strange coincidence I have had a visitor this p.m. and mentioned this query. He rang his mother, who is into this lark and she came back with the same place.
All I need now is for some kind person to look up the original census image to see if it could be read as Bothal, when that is what you are looking for! It is between Morpeth and Ashington which I believe used to be a coal mining area :-

Yes, indeed it does say Bothel, no mistake on the original. Will put in a correction to FMP
