Does Coatgill exist? ** Completed

[geoff_43]

Hi,

After Gaisgill in the attached, can any one tell what the next entry is? I see Coatgill but Google Maps can not find it. This is an 1871 census, I can not find them in 1881. Can any one please offer a suggestion where it may be or what the correct name is.



Thanks

Geoff

Hi,

Found this just by a Google search; lots of other references.



COATFLATT and COATGILL, two hamlets in Orton parish, Westmoreland; near Orton.

Hi nanny jan,

Thanks for that. Google Maps lets me down again. A parish in Orton makes perfect sense.

Thanks again.

Hi fellsman,

Thanks for that. They were farmers, and I have them in Gaisgill and Orton.  Am off to get an Ordinance Survey map of the area.

Cheers

Thanks JenB,

I definitely need a OS map.  Ashamed to admit it, but my knowledge of this area is very slim.
