Bogolhole, Brancepth
« on: Tuesday 18 August 09 08:04 BST (UK) »
Hi RootsChatters!

According to the Brancepeth Baptism Register my gt x 3 grandmother Elizabeth Herring/Heron, baptized March 10th 1754, was the daughter of John Herring of Bogolhole.  I have looked for Bogolhole on a large scale map, but can't find it.  Does anyone know where it is?

Many thanks,

Lazytee.

Have you got the original image or a transcription?

Could it have been Byshottles instead?

Thanks Woody!

I think it must have been a transcription in the index, as I don't remember looking at the microfilm, when at the Durham Records Office.  I'm not very good at managing the machinery and tend to avoid it!

I suppose it could be Byshottles.

Any other ideas, anyone?

Hi

If you google 'Boggle Hole Brancepeth'  you get a number of hits including the Durham Records Online website which lists Boggle Hole as being in the Parish of Brancepeth.

It doesn't help you in terms of the exact location though

Hi Susan!

Many thanks  for that.  I had tried looking for Bogglehole in the Ordnance Survey Gazetteer, but it didn't come up with anything.  It is such a fascinating name I feel I have to follow it up.

I also have great x 2 grandparents who in 1851 were living at "Cats Arse", Crawcrook, shown as "Cats Hole" on the 1850s O. S. map!  These make my own address of "White Cottage" seem very tame!

Cheers,

Lazytee

Hi again Woody!

Very many thanks for the wonderful photo of the sledging at Boggle Hole Bank.  It seems like Boggle Hole is closer to or part of Willmington.  This helps my researches immensely.  Marvellous, I am very pleased.

Cheers,

Lazytee

Hurray! Found it!  It's just about half a mile to the north west of Willington, east of Bowden Close and on the footpath from Helmington Row to Milkup Bank.  What wonderful place names they have in these parts!

Many thanks to you both.

Lazytee.
