Title: Place Name Help Wanted
Post by: GAYNORI on Friday 06 May 22 09:42 BST (UK)

Could anyone identify the place name please.

I thought it began with Do but based on the the Fathers 2nd name it looks like an e (written backwards) so De. Tried various options but having no luck identifying it. Most of the family members are based in or around Stainforth, Fishlake & Hatfield.

Thanks

The word on the page is written as Denneby.
So possibly Denaby?

I've always found GENUKI a good source of information - especially Yorkshire.

Denaby would fit with the one that also shows Mexbrough and Swinton.

Thanks everyone problem solved. There are also relatives from Mexborough so seems to fit. Never thought about Genuki!!
