So perhaps Crossmear was a way of saying where in Cockshutt this house was situated, Cockshutt being the name of the larger part and Crossmear being a smaller section of it. Thank you, Audrey. I have placed a map image in: http://hometown.aol.com/amilb36287/myhomepage/photo.html The scale is 1km to the square in the grid, so the towns are pretty close, but they are shown and seem to be separate.
