Default Another thing I can't read!

If you have access to ancestry, could you have a look at a burial entry for Nicholas Bishop in Melcombe Regis, Dorset, 12th April 1720. What is written after his father's name, Thomas Bishop .... ?

It might be the beginning of Alweston, which is a parish in Dorset.

If you look at the first entry on the previous page (25 May 1719, right-hand page of previous image) it says Burrid at Week or something like that.

Ah, could be a variant spelling for Wyke?

Oops, I thought I'd replied to this yesterday. Yes, 'at Week' is what I think it says. Thanks Kate.
