I did know about Upper and Lower Slaughter, yes - I must have driven past, I think. I even went to college with a poor girl called Slaughter.

Mary - interesting you should say that - Lycos and Ask are the same. But did you know there were places named slaughter .... whoops, off the point, shut up. Clive

Far be it from me to doubt you, OC, but where did you find that? I can only find it on Google as an obvious typo for 'courier'.

Are you sure you've got the spelling right? If you found it on Ancestry, it might be a mistranscription for 'collier' (miner).
