I leave this for the study of others.
B. H. C.
As B. H. C. could only find seven places in Cumberland ending in _-by_, I
take the liberty of sending him a few additional names. Writing from
memory, I may very possibly have omitted many more:
Aglionby. | Maughanby.
Allonby. | Melmerby.
Alwardby. | Moresby.
Arcleby. | Motherby.
Birkby. | Netherby.
Botcherby. | Ormesby.
Corby. | Ousby.
Crosby. | Outerby.
Cross Cannonby. | Parsonby.
Dovenby. | Ponsonby.
Etterby. | Rickerby.
Flimby. | Scaleby.
Gamelsby. | Scotby.
Glassonby. | Sowerby.
Harby. | Tarraby.
Harraby. | Thursby.
Ireby. | Uckmanby.
Johnby. | Uprightby, pronounced
Langwathby. | Heaverby.
Lazonby. |
Many names of places in Cumberland commence with _Cum_, as our Cumbrian
bard has it:
"We've Cumwhitton, Cumwhinton, Cumranton,
Cumrangen, Cumrew, and Cumcatch;
Wi' mony mair Cums i' the county,
But nane wi' Cumdivock can match."
From whence is derived the prefix _Cum_?
