Okay, Huntsmore is/was a hamlet in the parish of Iver, Buckinghamshire, mentioned in “Magna Brittania” (1806), quoted at: http://met.open.ac.uk/genuki/big/…
“Thorney is the principal hamlet in the parish; Riskins, Sutton, Shredding-Green, Grist, Bengers, Delaford, and Huntsmore, are in the parish.”
