The above baptism record image is shown at... https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-11826-143404-75?cc=1769414&wc=MMVH-J3M:n589216406 Page 11, No. 85... It reveals an Abode name of what appears to be "Skues"... This same abode name appears on the previous, adjacent page for a baptism, No. 82 for Elizabeth WILLIAMS... My question is... Is Skues a Place name, District or would it be a Farm/Property name? Another question is... Under the heading of... "By whom the Ceremony was performed"... Appears to be the name 'TREVENEN'... Other entries show what appears to be a Rev. <J> or <I> or <T> TREVENEN... A simple Google search reveals a... "...Rev. John TREVENEN, Curate of Camborne, born c1712, married c1740, died c1775..." and a "Rev. Thomas TREVENEN" [son of Rev. John TREVENEN] "Camborne, Cornwall, died 1816"... Maybe what I thought looks like a <J> could be a <T>??? Would this, Rev. Thomas TREVENEN, be the same person who performed the baptism ceremony for Nanny HANCOCK? TREVENEN is not my family... Nanny HANCOCK is my 2x great-grandaunt... Thank you Hilton Doidge Waikato New Zealand

It is a farm.  There is a document on Access to Archives: "Engraving of Henry Rogers of Skewis in gaol (Skewes in Crowan) with story of the siege of Skewes and his subsequent trail at Cornwall Assizes in August 1735 and execution: (See S. Baring-Gould, Cornish Character and Strange Events, (1909), 'The Siege of Skewis', p.p. 364-367). There is also an article on the Siege of Skewis by Keith Skues in Devon and Cornwall Notes and Queries vol. 27 part XI (July 1958) pp. 306-311. see also Devon and Cornwall Notes and queries vol. 28 part 1 (Jan. 1959) pp. 27-29)."
