the Marriage also lists a Whipley lane which shows up on google earth as being just near Clint which is why im presuming its not likely to be too far away

Google pulls up some references to Alexander Pope's grandfather being from Burfit Hall in Yorkshire.

And Burfitt Hall 4 miles NW of Barnsley.

Some old directories list a Burfit Hall at Kexborough near Barnsley. Modern publications list at as Birthwaite Hall. So there's an indication that Birthwaite and Burfit were pronounced much the same in Yorkshire.
