I think we can rely on the place being Hibaldstow, the variations being caused by standardised spelling being in its infancy in the early 19th century, compounded by the lincolnshire custom? of multiple names for the same place, plus regional accents unfamiliarity and dropped aitches etc. Have i missed anything? ;) The surprise to me is that it is still reasonably intelligible.
