I suggest leaving the thread online, but changing its name to "Chesire parish abbreviations - Sorted". I'm fairly sure Pete's response (at least) will be useful to someone.

The abbreviations list you need is found in the "Residence" list. Click in "R" on the menu on the left of the page.

CEGL : Chester Gloverstone.
HABG : Handbridge.
