Worksop parish register transcription puzzle

[kiterunner]

In the marriages I'm currently transcribing for FreeREG is a marriage between John Downes (or Downs) of the parish of Worksop farmer of Olbiston(?) and Hannah Simpson of the parish of Worksop spinster, 11 May 1761. I'm just trying to work out what the Olbiston bit is so I know what field to key it in! Is it a place name and if so, is it in the parish of Worksop or did they put Worksop in by mistake? (Worksop is in Nottinghamshire but near to Yorkshire and Derbyshire). Any ideas, please? I'm not sure whether it says Olbiston or something similar. I can't post an image because it was on microfiche at the record office.

There's an Osberton Grange Farm in Worksop. Could it be Ollerton parish? Not Worksop, but not too far away.

There's a village called Osberton too - close to Worksop

Checking on Ancestry, here's some references to Ollerton from Notts and Derby Notes and Queries 1893-1898:

Osberton was in the parish of Worksop so I think it is probably that, thanks both of you. It didn't look like Ollerton - it definitely had a b in it. I'll have another look at it next time to check if it could say Osberton.

Ollerton is too far away to be counted as Worksop, so I'd guess at it being Osberton.

Something else to take into account, comparing the mid 1700s with today's map, is that Osberton Grange and Osberton Hall are all that's shown on the modern map. But they lie on the northern fringe of Clumber Park, where I know that villages were shifted as part of Capability Brown's work there. Carburton, in the south-west corner of the estate, is one such village.
