Where was Thomas born?
« on: Thursday 15 May 08 20:34 BST (UK) »

The image is taken from a Quaker baptismal record.  I can't make out where he was baptised - possibly Acklam?

Urlam?

Though I don't know if there's one of those in Yorkshire.

There is an Urlam/Irlam, part of Manchester.

One reference on A2A to Arlum (Hill Close), Redbourne.

It's definitely Yorkshire, so the nearest I can come to "arlam" is Acklam.  Could it have been "aclam"?

The second letter isn't a "r" as it doesn't match the "r' in the word "born".

I agree with the - - lam, possibly with the first being an "a" which really only leaves Aclam. I can't find anything closer than that.

Googling around I came across a reference to Sir Ingram Boynton of Aclam. Also mentioned is Barmston in Yorkshire, which appears to be on the coast of East Riding on a modern map.

This from Google Books

The second letter of the word is almost identical to the "c" in some seventeenth century wills I'm currently struggling to transcribe!  So I would vote for Aclam.  (Goodness knows why they wrote "c" like that - doesn't look anything like it, to me!  Shocked Shocked )
