It could be Barton, St Marychurch

I read it as South Ditto (Littleham) Barton St Mary Church

 

[brentor boy]

Barton and St Marychurch are adjacent areas of Torquay. ( A long way from North Devon!)

Does it read " South ditto (Devon), Barton St Marychurch"

From Gro Index. Alfred Dennis. Dec 1853. Newton Abbot. Mmn Veal (Newton Abbot Reg District for Torquay)

 

[emeltee]

The "Ditto" could refer to either Devon or Littleham. However if Barton is South Devon then I'd guess it refers to Devon. Difficult to tell and I don't know the area at all.

 

[Mohli]

Place of birth is not always accurate on census, some put where they were living not born and registration regions varied over the years.

After reading it wrong. I would say South Devon Barton St Marychurch.
