Hi,
As you will have seen from Rootschat, it is helpful to give a bigger portion of the page concerned (perhaps 4-6 lines of text) so that people can see the word in context as well as understanding the kind of handwriting found on the document.
Rutter, Sampson, Swinerd, Head, Redman in Kent.  Others in Cheshire, Manchester, Glos/War/Worcs.

Hi

It might be Ormlie, just to the South of Thurso.
