Where are Flok or Bogh ?

Surnames: PIXTON, PICKSTON
I am finding this site an increasingly useful tool as more data is added & have found several events for my PIXTON/PICKSTON family.

What I am confused about though is in the residence field for several events it gives the info "Flok" or Bogh" & I am struggling to find out if this is the full place name of somewhere or an abbreviation for somthing else. I have read all the notes on the site for the normal abbreviations used but cannot figure out what these 2 are. "BO__" usually occurs in the for BOTP for "both of this parish" but nothing explains the "gh" bit & it could mean something completely different. The church concerned is St John, Chester. Has anyone else come across these names before & can you help?

I know I am replying to myself (lol) but possibly Flok stands for Flookersbrook, Can anyone confirm this?

You don't mention it in your post, of course, but presumably the site you have found an increasingly useful tool is the free on-line Cheshire Parish Register Propject site?

If you go to :-

http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~cprdb/Live/v3.3/

and select 'Glossary' in the list on the left, then the letter 'R', you'll find a translation of all residence codes used in the database - including FLOK and BOGH.
