Wow that is a tough one.  Is it written anywhere else like on the next/previous page that might be a little more readable?

Looks like ends in "erry or berry"

Had a thought if you go to page 1 the enumerators route of streets covered might mention it.

Well I may know what it is ... something has just twigged from readin the names of fields on the tithe documents for that area. But here is another image which is a continuation on next page.

Its a fork in a country lane where there was apparently a couple of very small structures. Pink blobs on the tith map. There are two fields at that junction and both are called

Twinaway and Homeward Twinaway .... do you think its possible from the blobs you can see lol?

This might well tie in with what I posted in reply #4, allowing for 'local usage'.

 ;D It would not surprise me AT all to be honest lol. As for the rout it isnt listed in that one. In all honesty I am slightly confused by what his rout was.

I have been reduced to drawing a map and referencing that against field names to try and work it out.

He walks ... or rides .... a good 5 miles and takes a list of the people living on various farms there. then he travels 6 miles to the next lot and ill call that base 1. The only way to get there is past this twinaway lot but he doesnt stop there. He does stop at these on the way back and then on to some more .... following a logical rout. then he comes back on himself and heads off to a different set of villages. The distance he travels to the furthest one i would guess at 6 miles. Then he finishes up there .... then for some unknown reason he travels back past them all again and goes to Base 1 ... writes down two peoples names .... then back past everyone again does a couple more elsewhere and on his way.

Key of rout starts in green and continues in red when he goes all the way back to base1 to log two people. Crazy.


Regarding Tithe maps ... did they leave buildings off at all???

Sounds like a local lane name for a  link lane between close hamets, of North Petherwin &  Petherwin gate or to the church.

Just a thought  ???
