Can anyone decipher the address for James Brock and wife Elizabeth in the 1851 census please. He is shown as head (age 24), born Ayrshire, Scotland, and his wife is 26, they have two children, Charles Edwin and Francis.

I have all the information on this family so please don't go research them, I just can't decipher where they were living in 1851.

Thanks.

Are the children with them in 1851?

I can't see the family at all in 1851. What county are they living in?

The transcription above looks reasonable, although there seems to be an 's' on the end on the image - with the addition of 'South Forest'

Googling produces results for Tudsbury Terrace in Sutton in Ashfield, so it appears to have a Nottinghamshire context

I agree re 1851 address.

Image says Tudsburys Houses, South Forest.
Parish of Edwinstowe, Hamlet of Hoylegrove.

The houses were named after a Tudsbury family who lived in Edwinstowe for generations (from a Google search) - for instance:

The Tudsbury family have been woodcarvers in Edwinstowe since 1627. Richard exhibited at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851. Walter carved the lectern at St. Mary’s Church. . . . . . .

On the census image, Tudsbury's Houses come between Rufford Road and Robin Hood Houses.

Today, there's a Robin Hood Avenue at right angles to Rufford Road, so I suppose Tudsburys Houses would have been around there - though disappeared long ago.
