Title: Fresthorpe? Where is it? - Completed, with thanks
Post by: kiwicatz on Thursday 09 September 10 09:02 BST (UK)

I have looked for this on the Parish Locator, but no luck. I googled and there's a reference to a Rector of Fresthorpe and something about Snarford, Lincs. There's also someone on bebo (one of the social networks) who says she lives in Fresthorpe?
Regards
Jan

Friesthorpe?  Try googling that spelling and you will find various entries.   Easier for you to do that than for me to explain! Here is the genuki link http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LIN/Friesthorpe/

Hello Andrea
I didn't think of different spelling and when I googles it suggested Fraisthorpe in Yoks, which I knew was wrong. I probably drove through there in Oct when I was in Lincolnshire, I stayed in Holton cum Beckering and did a lot of running around the area.
Much appreciate your hlp

Perhaps it's useful to go "up a level" on the Genuki site http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LIN/parishes.html
