A quick placing of the name onto Google search gave reference to 'Discoveries of America: Personal Accounts of British Emigrants to North... By Barbara DeWolfe', and this phrase in a letter "addressed to Mrs. Ann Dill with Mr. Thomas Wilkinson at Martin Lordship near Easingwould in Yorkshire England". A look into my 'Handy Road Atlas GREAT BRITAIN A-Z' shows an Easingwold (new spelling) North Riding, about 20 miles due East of Ripon and an equal distance North of the city of York, just east of the A19, if you are driving. I find nothing remotely resembling 'Ganongwould' in my copy. Every western genealogist's home should have this Atlas.

"MARTON CUM MOXBY, (and Marton Lordship) a parish in the wapentake of Bulmer, and liberty of Ripon; 5 miles E. of Easingwold. Here is a small church (see Churches for photograph), wherein divine service is performed once a fortnight from Easter to Michaelmas, but not at all from Michaelmas to Easter; the living is a vicarage, of which the Archbishop of York, is the patron, and the Rev. D. Duck, the incumbent. Pop. including Moxby, 164. Easingwold is a lovely little market town some 10-15 miles north of York, where my own Stockdale/Stockdill ancestors came from. -- Roy Stockdill Editor, Journal of One-Name Studies Guild of One-Name Studies website: www.one-name.org Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
