Twitcher Clough,Bingley, W.Yorks

[hudsonj]

Can anyone help with identifying where a place called Twitcher Clough, near Bingley, west yorkshire might be please ..1736 onwards  Many of our 'Wright' ancestors hailed from here, we are trying to establish where it is  or was to try find a burial ground which might have served them. It was sometimes referred to as 'switcher' clough, I am uncertain of the correct spelling, although 'twitcher' seems the favourite.
many thanks

thanks kevin for your interest..the dets have come to me via a cousin in USA..i will put pitcher clough to him, see what he makes of it....do you know if it was an area or simply a farm as such?

[PaulineJ]

IF it were for example a baptism record, then we might hazard a guess as to it's north, south, east or west of Bingley, based on the location of the church/chapel...

I wasn't asking for the sake of asking.

[hudsonj]

yes, pauline, that is a good point, I will find out a little more, thankyou for advice.

the source of the 'Twitcher, Switcher, or Swicher' clough was from the parish registers for Bingley, if anyone can shed any light on where this place might be that would be great,  the Pitcher clough farm that kevin mentioned is a good possible and I have passed that information on,many thanks.
