Obviously some years have gone by since my original post, but I have found Hugh, his marriage, his offspring, and his heirs (but no graces!) up to fairly recent days.....
Thank you to those who replied.  I hope you are still out there.

Durham Lookup Requests / Re: Orton/Horton Family

Dear Ginaw,

Thanks for your reply - will try for the death certificate to see if there is any tie-up.  Age is a year or so out, but one never knows until it is proved one way or the other.

If you have time would it be possible to check out the marriages for me?  He was shown as 14 on 1881 census, so I reckon if he married it would have been between 1888 and 1901.  I have tried 1837, BMD and ancestry without any luck, but we all know that entries can be missed.

Durham Lookup Requests / Orton/Horton Family

 >:(

I have managed to trace my great uncle, Hugh Horton, born 1867 at Topcliffe, North Riding of Yorkshire to the 1881 census.
In the 1881 census he was living at 4 Oxford Street, Darlington with his mother, Maragaret Horton as 'Head' of the house - she was a widow, and his elder brother Fred. (Fred was my maternal grandfather)
After that he just disappears.  I have tried 1837, Ancestry, LDS etc., and can find no further trace of him.
Fred joined Durham Light Infantry, so tried that. No joy.
Can anyone have a look at Darlington records to see if there is any trace of him up there either on Death or Marriage records.
I have tried 1891 and 1901 under various spellings without any luck.
Any suggestions, anybody??????

The Lighter Side / Re: Do these 2 ladies look like the same person?

I have had a very good look at both photos with the aid of a 'glass' and I think you will find they arre the same person - the photos were probably taken some time apart, and that explains the difference in the eyebrows.  If you look at the bridge of the nose, you will see a small 'bump' about 1/2" below the eyebrow. This could have been a break but would hardly be genetic.

I have been trying to trace Hugh Horton born 1867 in Topcliffe N. Yorks for some time.  He appears on 1881 census at 4 Oxford Street, Darlington, with mother and elder brother, Fred/Frederick.  He then disappears totally.  No trace in 1891 or 1901 census.  No mention BDM between 1881 and 1901 (!) 
His father, who was a stone-mason by trade was born Thomas Orton in 1821 in Ampleforth North Riding of Yorkshire.  He died in 1876 at his son's home - Son was George Horton of 87 Gurney Street, Darlington.
Have family tree back to 1720, but this 'brick wall' is bugging me, totally. Has anyone come across the family, and particularly Hugh, at all?
