I'm having problems deciphering an entry in 1861 (Gainsborough, Lincs). The reference is Folio 6, Page 5, Schedule 24 (the second entry down from the top of the page - a 10 month old boy).

** firstly, there's his forename - Hanly? Harly? Hardy?
** then, there's his surname - Lineday? Linsday? (Lindsay, with the middle letters accidentally reversed?)
** and finally, there's his place of birth - at first glance I thought it was Stafford, but then the county doesn't add up. Could it be Stotfield, Moray[shire?], at a push?

I've had a look on censuses online, but without a certain surname, I'm struggling!
