He said that this is the only other name he knows for any other rivers in that area....
Ok going to give the answer to this one and give you a Correct for your previous answer. I picked this question because the name for that stream isn't listed on Google maps
Say the name "The Mash" and see if that rings bells with him. I googled the two previous names you gave me and they listed Jones and Bride stream on Wiki but anyone I know of a certain advanced age call it The Mash.( I suspect the name might have something to do with a corn mill process)
How is he on tractors in Rush in 1960? More of a closest guess question. 0 -
