Another Location Request - Grappenhall This Time
« on: Sunday 31 August 25 19:31 BST (UK) »
Christening records for children of an 8th Great-Grandfather, William Rycroft of Grappenhall give the family's abode as Catheridge (or Cotridge) Lane.  I'm wondering if that's the same as the modern-day Cartridge Lane just southeast of the village?

Any thoughts/insights would be very much appreciated.

What time period are you referring to? It is called Cartridge Lane on 1873 maps, looking for an earlier map. "Cartridge" and "Cotridge" certainly sound very similar.

The Christening records lie between 1661 and 1670.  I'm not expecting to find a map that early but I agree Cotridge and Cartridge do sound similar.
