What does this say ?

On a marriage in 1849 this is the address of both parties.




???? Ludlow

Ludlow is in Shropshire about 20 miles from Knighton.

I know they both lived in knighton. I'm not sure what the first word is.

Just an assumption.

Could it possibly be 'Fee Ludlow' as in paying a fee to be married there, or am I just being stupid as usual ?

I’ve just stuck Fee Ludlow in the BNA search thingy and there are lots of ‘hits’, so to speak - Holdgate Fee, Old Gate Fee, Old Fee……. give it a go and see what you think

PS You are not stupid

I agree Fee, Ludlow, but I think that Fee was a place.

A quick newspaper search brings up references to Old Gate(s) Fee, Ludlow and Holdgate Fee, Ludlow.

EDIT: Snap!

The Shrewsbury Chronicle of the 16th August 1862 has an article which includes the words “Both parties reside in the Fee, Ludlow”

From the Shrewsbury Chronicle of the 12th September 1862 “Alfred Pilson, Landlord of the Bay Horse, The Fee, Ludlow…..”

Thank you both very much. Have now found where it is. There is and upper and lower Fee just off St. John's lane in Ludlow.
