Where is PROUDLAW?

[belfordian]

I have received a query from someone researching ancestors from North Northumberland who mentions that one of them may have lived at PROUDLAW. Probably near Bamburgh, Warenford or Newham. I live near the latter but have not heard of it and it does not appear on old maps.

Can anyone help suggest where this might be? I think it could be an mis- transcription  but for what?

Do you have any clues as to the source of the information?
I can’t see it on the Northumberland Farm Index or in the Name Books.

The nearest I can find is Prudhoe, a township in the parish of Ovingham, Northumberland.

My thought was Prudhoe too.
As Jen B says if you/they can tell tell us where they found this then we may have a better chance of helping.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I have verified that the placename of Proudlaw or Prodlaw is recorded as “in the parish of Bamburgh” in the original entry in  1770s Baptism register. Perhaps it is an old name for a tiny place/building which no longer exists.
