Please could you give me opinions of what is written for the first baptism on the top of the left-hand page, please. I won't tell you what I have at present.

Dorothey daughter of John Fleamard. But goodness knows where he's from. It looks like Wisbech, but patently isn't.

Thanks, Phoenix. It's horrendous writing. The surname should be a variation of Heaward. The parish is Mottram-in-Longdendale.
I can't make out the "de -?" part either.

I'm wondering if it is "Micklehurst" abbreviated.

Yes, it looks like Mickellhur...

Thanks, Kate.
There is a will for a Heaward of Mickelhurst.
I think this baptism is too late for OH's 7x-great-grandmother as she married in 1708.
