Author for " History of the County of Somerset" edit
Thanks for your edit to Clatworthy. Can you give the author & year for the " History of the County of Somerset" as there are several books with that title. I can then help with formatting per Wikipedia:Citing sources.— Rod talk 18:06, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks You added "The name appears in the Doomesday Book, 1086, and is the Norman version of the original Anglo Saxon name which was Clota's Wertig [farm]. The Normans changed the name to clateurde which became clatworthy and in some instances Clotworthy.<ref>Ref "A History of the County of Somerset, Vol.1, pp. 501-502</ref>" so I went looking for a book called "A History of the County of Somerset" page 501-502.- Now I know it is " Surnames of the United Kingdon" I've been unable to access the full text of Vol 1 online (although vol 2 seems to be available) so I can't verify but if you have a paper copy (or otherwise have access) could you put it into the article. It should probably be formatted as <ref>{{cite book|last1=Harrison|first1=Harry|title=Surnames of the United Kingdom Volume 1|date=1912|publisher=Eaton Press|location=London|page=81}}</ref>
