Barnby ?

There's this one- looks as though it's on the border Notts/ Lincolnshire

There's Barnby Moor a couple of miles NW of Retford.
Don't cry because its over. Smile because it happened.

Hi Geoff,
I had a look after and there is a Barnby and others - outside of Newark. I suppose all similar.
My son used to do a swim at Barnby Dun but that is near Doncaster.

Hi heywood

It looks like the Barnby in the Willows that you found is close to Newark.
Don't cry because its over. Smile because it happened.

Thanks all - it is appreciated.
I guess I will have to go with Barnby whichever it may be.
The lady also has a very unusual surname
Mahinore ?

It looked for all the world like mahmore to me...but I think it may be Masimore, due to the dotting of an I, which made me see the lower draw back on the letter before to be a script "s".......J.J.
