Horseridge from the Carham burials in the Parish Register of St Cuthberts church. It stated that he died in Horseridge, North Britain which was the name for Scotland a the time. As Carham is officially an English village the farm would be classed as in England, but if the farm was in the north of the Parish it could actually have been in Scotland.

North Britain often referred to Scotland AND the Northern counties of England in the 18th & 19thCs.  For example: the North British Academy of Arts which existed from 1908 to 1924 was in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

'North Britain' which was used by a certain stratum of society intent on obliterating the identity of Scotland. Notice that they never used 'South Britain' for the other part of the island. Nowadays a seriously non-PC usage.

I have a map on my wall of "The direct and Principal Roads of South Britain". The same map shows part of Scotland and calls it "Part of Scotland".

The map is old - possibly 1730s/1740s ....
