I keep coming across ancestors who in the 81, 91 and 01 Censuses have their birthplace listed as MEOT either London or Middlesex. Does anybody know what this means?

Yes, I have seen this confirmed on several County Lists.

Many thanks to both of you - that would certainly 'fit' geographically. I was beginning to wonder if it was some sort of lying in hospital or institution!
