Looking at some entries on Ancestry for the 1851 census of Church Stretton, Shropshire I noticed that there are lots of people (about 284) who were born in Church Stretton and still living in Church Stretton have their birth place incorrectly transcribed as "Ch Shelton" because the transcriber has misread "Ch Stretton" in the original entries.
