is it anywhere near Abberley?

Wychavon is the area around Droitwich, Worcs, approx 8 miles from Kidderminster (Wyre Forest area) on the A449
Abberley is going towards Tenbury. Route is through Kidder, through Stourport and out on the A451, so it's the bottom Westerly corner of a triangle with Kidder at the top, Droitwich to the East.
I'm fairly familiar with this area so ask away if you think the area for which you are searching is around it.
P.S. See my addition to your other question or your e-mail. I think I may just have "cracked it"!

You could have a look for yourself using this link below, it's excellent and very useful to keep in your favourites list. As you can see I have searched both places for you, but couldn't find either in or around Worcestershire.

have found a Gazetteer for you and some other sites you may find helpful,

Have you thought about the fact that there may have been a boundary change between the two census dates, have a look at the information re: boundary changes from 1844-1974,

it could well be that this is what happened to change the geographical location of Odan.
Below are the family history societies for the areas, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire.

At a guess, it's in Worcestershire.
