Jan, Have a look at http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/ERY/Beeford/index.html Check out the directory pages, some Dunns in there. Also on the maps page there is a Moor Grange, near Dunnington. (Note this is not the Dunnington near York). As far as I can make out, the Moor was a large area of wet land stretching from Hornsea on the coast to Brandesburton, a few miles inland.
