Title: Living location
Post by: Jane Sharp on Thursday 07 January 21 06:26 GMT (UK)
Hello !

Can anyone decipher the Parkinson family's living location- on the centre line at the end ? This is an extract of a baptism in Lancashire, in 1783.

thankyou for your help in advance

There is a village in the Lancaster district called Quernmore.

It reads 'Quarmore', but Neale's 'Quernmore' looks a distinct possibility.

I was about to say the same, especially as the locals pronounce Quernmore as Quarmer

Local knowledge always a valuable advantage!  :)

Thankyou ! It must be that as it's near Chipping where the event took place :)
