As you can see however I've gone back as far as 1573 without finding any record of your Mordens. The nearest ajoining parishes are Munston, Folkton and Hunmanby, with Munston encircling Filey, making that the most likely parish, however I don't have these records, and the IGI only goes back to 1729. I've checked the IGI and there are no Mordens in their Munston records, however if I were you this is the area I'd be looking in.
