Some help please. Suggestions for employee names on lines 3 and 5
Also suggestions on location names lines 9 and 14

Dudders2025

If anyone is interested the accident cause on line 9 'spragging' is when you try to stop a wagon by means of a randon piece of wood under the wheels of a wagon. Mightly dangerous, so I'm not surprised he hurt himself!

Scrumpy Geoff

Row 9, correct

Scrumpy Geoff

Row 14, Newent

Dudders2025

Thanks - have removed the ?? from both locations

Scrumpy Geoff

Row 5, Lianchbury?

Scrumpy Geoff

Luitern???

Names look like Lintern and Lainchbury to me. Dot of letter 'I' so often placed well astray of its stem! Both these are existing family names, Google tells me. The first from Middle English for a door or window lintel, the second a Warwickshire name.

Scrumpy Geoff

Row 5, sorry a before i

Dudders2025

Thanks everyone have gone for Lintern and Lainchbury.
Feel free to make any corrections if you think I've missed something.

Scrumpy Geoff

Dudders is quite right. If you see anything that needs changing on any page go ahead and do it. Sorry I am not doing that myself but am a bit constricted at the moment

Geraldine53

Wary of doing that unless the original person working on a page seems to have moved on to another.
Sorry you're laid up, Geoff - or down...

PAChi

I've blown his brain up today. Poor fella.

Dudders2025

I think there's a subtle difference between spotting a clear error and where there is a question of doubt. With the former I don't think anyone would mind helping out (so long as they're not actually working on that page; at least you get a warning) rather than jumping in and making changes with which the page 'owner' might feel agrived.

Scrumpy Geoff

Spot on Dudders. I think we shouldn't be checking pages not marked for review... unless on troll watch or to help newbies
