ArchivesRe: Accuracy the last word
in reply to a message by Jim Young
Jim,
South Yorkshire is still many miles from the West Yorkshire and has an all together different dialect to West Yorkshire, so why he would know anything of this particular region is boyond me, unless he had visited the area and if that was the case he would have uncovered the truth. The fact that this chap hails from Sheffield has no bearing, you say yourself you discount the Margaret theory so why mention him at all.
There are documents in the local library archives, documents in the Town Hall Archives, that clearly state it's meaning as Moor Gate Royd, fact. Just because someone is an expert in any field doesn't make them inpervious to inaccuracies. Perhaps he has read the same dictionary as you guys.
