Place name near Altrincham/Hale/Manchester
« on: Friday 20 October 17 22:01 BST (UK) »
Hello, please see the attached. It looks like Oauley Hey or Oavley Hey to me? This is a baptism in Altrincham, Manchester. The resident parish is Northenden, so I am assuming it is in this vicinity.

Thank you so much for any help. I've been staring at it for so long the letters no longer make any sense at all!

Hi

I wonder if it is Alverley Hey/Haveley Hey as mentioned on this site:

(Mentioned under EARLY 14th century.

The words as written are fairly clearly:  Oavley Hey

The extract supplies plenty of rs for comparison, and the u in Warburton.

It's a very neat and disciplined hand.

If you hunt around nearby you might find a capital O name, just to be sure.

Earliest map I can find is
http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=15&lat=53.3835&lon=-2.3424&layers=6&b=1
but it is late 19th century. Can't see a suitable place name.


ADDED: Whoops, didn't see sugarbakers already posted map  :-[

To bear out what horselydown86 says, there is a '0' in '20 Jan' at end of entry, although '0' & 'O' may not have been written the same then.

I don't think it's necessary to concentrate on what it says; it's quite clearly "Oavley Hey", but where it might be. Given the dispersed pattern of settlement between Northenden and Altrincham at this time, I think it likely that Oavley Hey was most likely a farm or simply a small group of buildings rather than some form of vilage or hamlet.

It looks like one of the variant forms of Haveleyhey was Overley Hey (1700s?) - see
http://placenames.org.uk/id/placename/44/011186

It's not a very big leap from that to Oavley Hey.
