As you can tell I had some time to kill!! Does anyone know anything about the naming of these places or roads. The Dolman Stand (Bristol) and Pocklington School are well known, how about the more obscure road names?

ISACK DOLMAN 1792 CHERHILL POORE BOOK


This entry is from the Cherhill Poore Book for November 8th 1792. Again it is a transcript from The Manor and Village of Cherhill. I suspect that Betty Holman is actually James Dolman's wife Betty Dolman as I can find no other mention of Holman in Cherhill. There were two Isaacs in Cherhill at this time, one born in 1767, one in 1763. The 1767 Isaac was married to Mary Rawlings.
