North Yorkshire dialect place names
« on: Sunday 01 November 09 11:18 UTC (UK) »
Is there a list of North Yorkshire dialect for place names?

Wondering if Eggeven and Enterham (neither of them exist as such) could possibly be Enterpen

Hi
Having researched my family in Yorkshire back as far as 16th centuary I know that alot of the words and place names of my county are Viking words. So if I need to look for anything like you are researching I go onto Viking sites as there is generally a clue somewhere on there.
