Is there such a name or is it a misspelling for a similar name please?

It's a mis-spelling.

Is it a person's name? Or a place?

For instance, there's a place called Highlow Hall in Derbyshire.

If it's on a genealogy record, please tell us more, so that we can look at it ourselves.

There was a Rachael Heyhoe Flint, who captained the English cricket team, at one time.
Her father's surname was Heyhoe.

Do you mean it was a surname?

Where did you find it ?

Is it a name or place

If it’s a record then maybe another set of eyes may help :-D

It is on a birth cert of 1842, I've looked on the following census but not found anything close.... yet.

Is it the child's Father's name or the maiden name of the Mother or even a first name (there were some strange ones out there). Or the name of the place the child was born.

If you give all the details from the certificate, it may be possible to find some information.

Still doesn’t mean a lot sorry

Can you give the full details of what’s on the cert and what you are looking for

There are no Heglow surnames on the 1851 Ancestry census returns. There are Helow, Hellow, Hewlow

It's also useful to know where in the country this is.
The name, said in a strong local accent can sound totally different to the way it's written - or the way you expect it to be written.
