Thanks for all your help folks- Going back to name, apparently Southeron has died out with my generation in uk. I am one of three girls and no sign of any other branch doing better, hence I'm very precious about it when I find one with my exact spelling!!

I thought the same as mgnv - but the enumerator seems to have written it next to almost every address on his plot - why would he bother?

My guess is Parliamentary Borough & Municipal Borough

Sorry about spelling. I read the original as Southeron- that was my maiden name and it looks like my spelling!

Yes, I do like the actual spelling myself! Found it just using forename.
No idea what the letters mean after all that - maybe the enumerators own personal code!

In the address field? I know some of the addresses in the 1841 are a bit "scrappy" but this one is having a laugh isn't he?

Do you want to post the details so we can go and have a look-see?
