Someone will correct me if I am wrong but I'm pretty sure that Ugthorpe, Lythe, and Egton Bridge RC churches were administered by the same priest during the recusancy.If you look at Lorraine Jennings notice posted about the Hearts of Oak site Im sure you will find it most useful.In turn if you look at my reply to her you may find St.Heddas transcription records helpful too.As I am going to look at my own research to see if there are any links with Lorraines family Iwill also look for links with yours-but same rules apply busy lady, be patient.Keep in touch, Eloise
