Hubby says it sounds like it might be Cumberland. Personally I don't even know where I am now!!

Hi Sue Google search found it. NE Lincolnshire. The NE Lincs Council website tells you all about Hawerby-cum-Beesby. Bearly isn't so easy to check for as endless sites come up for teddy bears or the word barely misspelt! A bit like searching for Meager and getting all the instances of a misspelt meagre (or American spelling)! Sue

I got Bearley from the Road Atlas. I think a lot of places on the Lincs coast have disappeared. Think I have a book at my mums - if I can find it I will look later. Maz. XX

Sue, Do you have a registration district for Bearly? If you go to www.multimap(.)com and search for Bearly you can see the one in Warwickshire. Crista

According to ParLoc, Hawerby cum Besby is Lincolnshire O/S referenceTf 2697. ParLoc (Parish Locator) is a free programme you can download. It will also give you old parish names and print a map showing all nearby Parishes. One for the Tips Board I think.
