Haggstones / Tagstones, Oughtibridge near Sheffield

[Claire64]

I am trying to locate Tagstones but I wonder if it is an alternative spelling of Haggstones?  I can't find Tagstones on any old map of the Oughtibridge area, although there is a Taglands Wood.  If anyone has any proof either way, I'd love to hear!

Where did you come across the name Tagstones?

[Claire64]

Thanks Stan, but I was wondering about Tagstones as opposed to Haggstones.  That spelling (with a T) appears a lot in the records, and it's definitely a T not an H. 
Chempat, I am researching my partner's family of Bramalls.  They came from Birtin Farm [Oughtibridge].  Just trying to sort out the various families, as there were far too many Johns and Josephs! 
As a coincidence, we asked for a quote from a Stocksbridge guy for some guttering last week, and the invoice came from Birtin Farm!

The above contains a reference to Hollin Hill or Tag Stones.

Hollin Hill is next to, on the west, of Hag Stones.

I do wonder though if this was a miss-hearing of a Yorkshire accent, as in t,internet.

Hm, that's interesting, thanks.  I did wonder about the Yorkshire Accent thing, but the place was consistengly spelt Tagstones.  Perhaps it just changed over time.  Birtin became Burton for instance.

As an aside, a fellow Donkersley researcher took years to find her ancestor's birth record.  The child was the son of a Yorkshire soldier and an Irish mother, and the child was born on board a ship bound for India.  Not only was the poor child, a boy, listed as a girl, but his mother's name was was recorded as  Dinhersley! (the result of an Irish lady telling an Indian clerk her Yorkshire name)
