Title: Help deciphering part of baptism
Post by: Tom Langley on Monday 12 October 15 12:53 BST (UK)

Could someone help me figure out where this place in Cheshire is. It looks like Presall, but there is not place called that.
The baptism was in Tarvin, Cheshire in 1607

It looks to be Preshall.  Is the line seen going out the top of the image from the s coming down from the line above?

Yes its from he line above, but it seems to go follow the same line as part of the lettering on this line

Thanks Tom.  I'll stick with Preshall as the reading, although Google doesn't supply any links to Cheshire.

There is a Priestnall Road in Stockport, Cheshire, though that's miles away from Tarvin.

Id think it would be fairly local to tarvin, but I can't find anywhere close that even remotely looks right

No-one think it could start Five or Fire?
