Alison - The Thurlaway family that we are investigating is that of Jane Thurlaway who married Joseph Robson on 30th July 1775 at Chester le Street. She may be the daugjhter of Henry Thurlaway and Jane Richardson of Torish Hill , who was baptised at Houghton le Spring on 8th September 1754. We cannot connect this family with yours at present. Stan - Thank you for the map reference. I have located Torish Hill (or Terish Hill on old map) near West Rainton. Max Procter
