Ross,
I strongly suspect it should read, "Welshpool", Montgomeryshire.

Subject: Fishpool, Montgomery, Wales
The 1881 British Census lists my great grandmother, Sarah Ann CROSS
as
having been born in Fishpool, Montgomery, Wales. I have been unable to
locate a Fishpool in Montgomeryshire on line. Does anyone know if there
was a Fishpool in Wales in 1881?
The Census Place was Hyssington, Shropshire, England and the Dwelling
is
listed as: "Fishpool". I am wondering if there may have been an error
on
the enumerator's part or of the person transcribing the 1881 Census? Sarah
Ann was 5 years old on this census and living with her mother Ann CROSS and
brother William CROSS. Any help and suggestions greatly appreciated.
