I've been reading the parish register for Dodderhill today, and I'm terribly confused by place names. I have old family records which refer to some of my ancestors living in Libbery, Droitwich, or Libbery, Dodderhill. I realize that this is probably "in the Liberties" . I also think that I understand correctly that if the entry in the parish register says "in the Liberties" it refers to a part of Dodderhill which is "In the Liberties" of Droitwich. Am I correct? Now the question here-- for one of the families I'm interested in the abode is listed as "The place called Marlborough" or "the place commonly called Marlborough". Anyone know why it doesn't just say "Marlborough"? And today, is Dodderhill a part of another town? And actually, another question-- is all of the area known as "In the LIberties" in Dodderhill? Or is part of that area also in the part of Droitwich that is not a part of Dodderhill? Thanks, Paula
