Jamjar,
I think you're right. I didn't notice the other entries also had occupations.
I'll look for Ely or Eli now.

Does anyone know of a website that has the names of small places that no longer exist. I'm always looking up places and not finding them.
Shell

Genuki is fairly good:

Select country, then county, then town or village ....

The page for Ely:

Looking at the image of the  1761 baptism  I wonder if it was Esclusham  http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/DEN/Esclusham

Added - could the original place name be an abbreviation  :-\

Looks like it to me.

I thought it to be Eclusham.
There's a 3rd baptism, Margaret, but that looks like an abbreviation also.
