Last 2 words are probably Almondb(ur)y Parish, perhaps preceded by the name of a smaller place in that parish?

Anything here?

ADDED – maybe Thonng (or Thong) ?

Wow that was quick. I think you are right: Almondbury and before that Thong (but not Upper or Nether)
Thanks

Hi

Netherthong & Upperthong would have been known as Thong. Upperthong, Holmfirth which was in Kirkburton parish. Netherthong in Almondbury parish.

I see you've shown us the BT, from FindMyPast. The parish register is at Ancestry, and it's a bit clearer.

It gives the residence as Thong, Almy Parish.
