Where in Berwick? Baldersburry
« on: Friday 19 October 18 19:10 BST (UK) »
This extract comes from an 1811 Baptism and refers to a place that looks like Baldersburry in the parish of Berwick. Does anyone know what the name actually is and where it is?

The word is at the end of the second line

Thank you

James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.

According to the Northumberland farm index (1860) there was a Baldersbury Hill Farm in Berwick

Thank you. That fits in very well. (Found it on a modern map with your help).
