Thanks.  Had a look at that map, and zoomed in.  There is something called "Easter Hartside Edge nearby".  I suppose the spelling could easily have changed from Hartsyde to Hartside over the last 350 years.

I think you're both right.  I couldn't see it before, but now that it's been pointed out ... ...
Thanks for the speedy solution. :)

Thanks,
I think you are right, I was mistaking the P for an I.
Wow, you gave me the answer 74 seconds after I posted the question!

The Cause of Death column says:
1(a) Broncho-pneumonia
  (b) Measles No I.M.
Anybody know what "No I.M. means?

Yes, I think PrueM's attempt looks good.
Just have to figure out what it means now, and/or why a note was added several months after the entry.
Thanks everybody.

Wow, quick replies.
I didn't want to post the complete image, in case there was a copyright issue, but the name of the reverend involved was George Charles (incidentally, my great grandfathers name was changed from Robert to George Charles !!!), and the registrar named on corrected entry has a surname which seems to start with a letter L, but I can't read that either.

My great grandfather had his name changed when he was baptised, and I have obtained an image of the entry in the "Register of Corrected Entries", dated September 15th 1873.
There is a note at the top of the page which I cannot read, and which appears to be dated 6 February 1874.  Any ideas?
