Thank you Londoner and Bonzo, what kind of threw me was the transcription saying Merthyr Stafford

You wouldn't believe some of the census transcriptons I read yesterday on FMP! Trouble is what was written was quite clear to read!

Oh I would, Jacob transcribed as Peter (and no Peter anywhere on the page for it to be a "I was looking a the wrong line)
