Thank you.
Now - where did you get this from?

Point to note : Bellebi could refer to Bielby, near Pocklington, in Harthill
Hundred; or to Belby, near Pollington, in Howdenshire. Both in the East Riding
of Yorkshire. There is a Thorp(-le-Street) about 2 miles from Bielby,
but the -t(h)orp place-name element is extremely common around these parts.
