Could someone please look at the 1871 census for Mary Troughton

dob 1865 Winstone Lancashire.
Residence Windermere.

Ancestry has transcribed the surname as Houghton..

Marys place of birth i believe has been mistranscibed.

I just want someone to confirm what i think the place of birth should be without giving the detail.

I have all the details for this family Thank you.

Thank you
Maurice

I think it says Ulverstone, Lancashire.

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

I've not seen the image, but FMP (and so FS) give it as Ulverston without the e:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:V557-5L6

http://www.freecen.org.uk/ gives the same pob (and spelling).
FreeCEN is complete for Westmorland 1861, and only missing one piece for 1871 (the missing piece RG10/5269 covers the Appleby subdistrict of East Wrd RD).
