Ruth, Trevor, Heather and Henry Thank you all for your helpful suggestions regarding Gravenhurst. I had found the newspaper records but not looked at the land tax. The Salisbury's and Morecrofts were related but I have not come across Mrs Orme before. The link to the map/schedule is great. I will need to chase up that early Morecroft reference (1720). Joy - we have been in contact before about this family. Many thanks Jane
