Saddleworth Burial Record

[gnorman]

Hi everyone, I am struggling a little with this burial record from 5th February 1754.

What I can see for my ancestor is

Richard Brooke of .... Clothier.

It looks like it may say Quick lodge or edge or something like that to me,

Can anyone make it out any better please?

Thanks, Luke

"Quick Edge".

Just googling it, I can see a Quick Edge Cottage, Quick Edge Lane, Quick Edge Farm etc

"The name of Quick now survives in the Hamlet of that name (SD975037) and Quick Edge, a Spur of High land (aprox 300 m) some ½ km to the East which drops steeply to Quickwood, Mossley and the river Tame below.
Quick Edge road is a ridge road of antiquity (some say pre Roman) though now relegated to an unsurfaced track."

The above link to a transcription of the Parish Register states that he was from Quick-edge
