Any thoughts on where else to look?

First letter looks a bit like G, but Gewer isn't right......

I have a similar problem at Weston and Askwith parish. My 3xg.grandfather John Mountain is marrying there late 18th cent. Never found where he comes from. Was a tenant farmer. However over the fell is Fewston. An entry in that baptism register could well be he. Have no proof it is so. My 1978 MI recording of that churchyard shows three tombstones of Kendall's. Six first names. No Robert.  Copies of the MI recording were given to the Vicar and to West Riding of Yorkshire archives.  Hoping the above gives ideas of what to do.      Gragareth.

This is a more extensive snip of the 1746 entries, to see if anyone can make a guess.  I did wonder whether the first letter is T - see Thos, son of Richard Kendall.

Gragareth - I'd be interested to know the names on the MI.  I also hadn't thought of Fewston.

Hi Bumble B

The first letter certainly looks more like the T in Thomas than the J in James.

Could it be Tawer Tawyer or Tower a dresser of white leather? He would be working with skins.

Many thanks Venelow!!  Or even, could it be a variation on "tanner"?  All to do with animal skins!
