Somewhere near Holmfirth?

[bykerlads]

PS- I've looked and looked at the word and just cannot decipher it or make it match any place I can find.(though it may be a mis-spelling)
Would it be worth putting it in the "help with deciphering..." section?
Could the first letter actually be a capital D?

Could be a fancy letter L -Little house

There maybe an entry in the BT's of the baptism that maybe clearer-These are held at the Borthwick institute at York University near York, North Yorkshire -They don't charge much for a copy on a known date

Possible

Silk Mill House,(Upperthong) Huddersfield Road, Holmfirth, HD9 4AW

Sillke

Its said Overthong was the old name for Holmfirth, Overthong is broadly (Rough area) the bottom of Thong lane from Netherthong where it meets Huddersfield road to Holmfirth centre at Cooper lane, basically lower east Upperthong to Netherthong and Thongsbridge being North of the river holme

Overthong is more known today as just Thong (The part of Holmfirth that in mostly in the Almondbury mother Parish)

There is also Nether House, just to the lower part of Upperthong village itself.
Though there definitely is an "i" in the first part of the word. the end of the first part does look like it is "er".
it's the middle bit which seems to be "tth" that's a puzzle.

Hi bykerlads

I think your right

N-Netther house

The sweep in ink mark is the first upright of the N, the fancy S is the angle line in the N and the long sweeping bridge over to the TT is the second upright of the N

Can you look at other entries in that register for Netherthong or Nether House and see how the chap writes is N's and spells Nether, Netther or Nitther

See below

Remember sign writing at school -Thin up strokes and thick down strokes

[bykerlads]

If it is Nether House, the "i" instead of "e" could be the result of hearing the old, broad-Yorkshire pronunciation, where, if I recall correctly from when I was a child in Holmfirth, sometimes slackened "e" into "i".

Hi

I have enough with these F's for S witt'h out the line through like an upside down J

Nither (Niver-Neither nor) 'rains but pours'

Sounds aba'ht reight-(about right)

No wonder a could never spell at school.
