Title: Where in Berwick? Baldersburry
Post by: davidft 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

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).
