Hi,
I'm looking through the parish registers for Linton in Craven and am finding the place name of my ancestors written as Hubber'coe. The years are during the 1600's. I've tried finding where this place is and wondered if it was Hubberholme but this seems too far away.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you.

I haven't looked at the original register, but I have a printed transcript dating from 1900 (copies are probably also available online). Hubbercoe appears in this, as does Hubbercove - no doubt both are variants of the same name.
Googling for Hubbercove and Yorkshire produces some suggestions that it might be in the Skirethorns or Threshfield area, but I've pored over a large scale map for that part of the parish and didn't spot it.

This suggests that Hubbercove was a Norse settlement that is now lost http://www.rootschat.com/links/01nqu/

This would make sense as the family came from the Skirethorne and Threshfield areas. I'll have a look at Hubbercove, thank you :)
