Lincolnshire memories and dialect

I came across this site accidentally; I was wondering if the word that my grandfather used for "Starling" - starnil - was dialect or illiteracy.  It is dialect.

I came across this site a few years ago, by 'Googling' Melton Ross as my husband's rellies came from there, and realised that all the words he had been using for years were actually dialect, like starnil and foot trod.  I wasn't sure whether to believe him or not before.

More dialect from my grandmother and great aunts (born in Grantham, 1880s)
"A mess o' goodie" = a bag of sweets.
"wassing in" - getting on with the job (seeing a woman washing down the steps in front of the house.)
