Hi Deborah
First an apology for addressing you by the wrong name.

It is a shame that the Orton records aren't on-line.
You are right about looking for the Hodgsons - I have done a search and this is the posting
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,232782.0/wap2.html I have also found some notes in a box that I printed from this site. So another apology.

I have moved it on since then by getting a Will which has proved that my Dorothy Hodgson born c1749, wife of Anthony Nicholson was the daughter of William Hodgson of Scarside who died 1793. The will does not mention a wife so presume she has died.
You gave me this marriage for a William
29 Mar 1744 William Hodgson of Scarside and Anne Noble of Borrowbridge both of this parish.
Which I believe may be more likely than the one I was given by someone else (as it actually says William of Scarside) i.e. William Hodgson married Margaret Burton 20 Feb 1749 Ravenstonedale.
But he could have married twice.
However I was wondering if anyone had anything else to add since the last time as it was started a few years ago now and if anyone had any more records on Orton.
Many Thanks

Judy
