"Not sure about Petri. Of stone doesn't seem to fir & it's a capital- was there a St Peter's Church in Macclesfield?" Genuki says that St Peter, Prestbury was 'the ancient parish church for the township of Macclesfield'. Never did Latin, to my shame, but I did wonder if the references to 'Petri Maclesfield' might be to the church. John Kirkland (Hoole, Chester)
