Placename: Banthing in Durham ?
« on: Tuesday 04 August 20 19:33 BST (UK) »
Can anyone suggest what this place name should be, it has been transcribed as Banthing by familysearch and Ancestry.

Link to 1881 transcription
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q271-D65Y
James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.

Battling was also called East Castle.
It’s about half way between Leadgate and Annfield Plain. My g- grandfather lived there for a short time.
