Subject: Where is Wheatley Wheathy Whatley?

Surnames: Straw

I am trying to trace the birthplace of a William Straw born 1791.
In the 1851 Census he is living in Farnsfield, Nottinghamshire and the place of birth appears to say Wheatley, Northamptonshire (or Norway according to the transcriber!)
in 1861 he is still in Farnsfield but thye POB seems to say Whatley.
Does anyone know where he means?

Thanks
Pete Smee
