Back around 1996 when I'd done a bit of research and joined the Cleveland FHS and mentioned to their quarterly magazine the family names I was interested in I had a letter from Ian Keeler who said he was sure we were related. His mother ( I think it was) had done some research on the family tree and suggested I look to Dun Bogs.
That did not make sense at the time (not having heard of Dun Bogs) but became clearer later when I learned of the works of J Les O'Connor. His book has some assumptions with unknown foundation and some errors - like my writing. Thus I have spent some years trying to ensure that my GGG Gdad John Hoggarth was a son of Philip and Ruth (nee Topliff) Hoggarth of Dun Bogs. Refer to my pages about that John Hoggarth and his fathers father in law Henry Topliff.
To get a clearer picture of what it might mean when the parish register said someone was from Briscoe I assembled to information below. Judging by the way people are sometimes said to be from Briscoe and then at other times a specific Farmstead is mentioned I think that the expression "Briscoe" or "Busco" could be used for either the general area or the farm called by that name.
(Note: The 1841 Census has in record HO 107/1256-6 Enumeration District 1 - "The Township of Lythe - that part called Briscoe & in which are the following 6 households, (nothing else): Briscoe Elder Park, Briscoe, Dun Boggs, Dun Boggs, Barton Houl and what is probably Cocket Nook. Each household is headed by a Farmer.)
(Note: Mooreside entries not generally included, Coquet Nook not included.
Note: All years are in newstyle)
