Thanks to Harry I was able to locate with his directions finding these farms around Fryup area. Now Harry, I may have a connection with various names which you are searching... In Skelton, I have Jane Hodgson married May 25, 1819 to John Collier owner of the farm in Fryup Dale known as Bainley side farm. They immigrated to the USA shortly after this marriage. Next I will give you what I know of Jane Hodgson from family letters.-- a letter from Sebra Crudass (aunt of Jane Hodgson) writes that her brother has died and that was Feb 19, 1870-- I believe he was from Skelton.. Sebra Crudass (wife of John Crudass) is living at Little Fryup at this 1870 time. Do you see any connection with your search?

Highdale (Hardhill ) Farm is right at the top of the Valley,well up on the moor slope and due West of London House Morgan Intake is less than half a mile East and slightly North of Street in Gt Frup Dale These last two have approaches from the road along Glaisdale Rigg . The Hardhill reference I found via Google which took me to a site which appears to cover Cruck Houses and could be a valuable source of info when looking for old farms and houses .The Grid refs do not accord precisely with my maps . Let me know how you fare .
