HI Diddy

It looks like Neidy Hill  :-\

I'll have a look on some maps  :)

Hi Diddy

I think it's Neidy Mill, which is on the River Eden at a funny little S-bend at the innermost end of the Estuary, near the railway line.
It's NNE of Ceres.

It is still there, current OS map marks it as disused. Grid Ref NO 430 169 GB Grid http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/

Diddy (& Kirsty)

That's an ingenious suggestion, but I don't think it's Nydie Mill.

"Neidy Hill" is shown on Ainslie's map of Fife dated 1775.  It was in the parish of Ceres, just under 3 miles east-south-east of the village. 

Later maps (from 1828 until today) show a farm at - or very near - this site, called Bankhead.  Maybe they changed the name.
Ballingall, Donaldson, Fulton, Gillespie, Ramsay, Walker - in Fife.
Bury - in Salford & Liverpool.
Jack - in Glasgow, Dunfermline & Dundee.
Bermingham/Birmingham - in Cork.
Eagle - in Norfolk, Edinburgh & Glasgow.

That's a real puzzle.

Neidy Hill is a great find.

But there's also a Nydie Hill (to go along with Nydie Mill, Nydie Mains etc).  Seems to be in St Andrews parish
but nearer to Ceres than St A.

And an LDS submission for another of their children gives the place as Ground of Nydiehill, Ceres ...

Hmmm...

Many thanks for your help everyone. I have three other children listed - Mary, james & Margaret but henry is my ancestor.
I have another odd word on henrys marriage certificate but will have to go to work now so will post later as have to scan it first. he was a tenant in -somewhere. its possible that may be connected with "Neidy Hill"!!

Hmm, can anyone else read the rest of the words? It would be useful to know what are parts of the unknown name and what are loops and swirls from words below it. I'm just not having much luck.
