Below "Cellar" it looks like "Co" or "Cor" with a space followed by what might be "rker" or "ker"- hence "Corker"?

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Brickwall - Philip MORTIMER, Pembroke Militia

You're welcome and, secondly, a belated welcome to Rootshat.
I remember the frustration surrounding the 1771 baptism, father Philip Mortimer, son's given name illegible. I recall checking if the Bishops' Transcripts for Steynton at the LGC might provide the answer. Unfortunately, the Bishop's Transcripts only date from post 1771. Another instance of "s**'s law kicking in!
