One of my 6th-g.grandparents were the couple Robert WRIGHT and his wife Ann. I have been unable to find their marriage but there is a Marriage Bond on Familysearch which must be them, showing that Robert WRIGHT was to marry Ann HORD. Robert was of Sedgefield, Ann was not given a residence, and the guarantor was Marmaduke Chapman, of Norton. The Bond was dated 8th May 1691, and the first child of this marriage was born in Sedgefield and baptised May 31 1692, followed by another 5 baptisms in Sedgefield; the family then seemed to move to Bishop Middleham. There is an oddity about the marriages recorded in Sedgefield (I have only seen transcriptions) - they appear to go in fits and starts. In 1691 they jump from 24th Feb 1690/1691 to four starting 9th June 1691, then seven in November, then no more until April 1692. This makes me wonder whether all marriages were entered in the register, so that Robert/Ann may have been wed after all in Sedgefireld, as would seem likely. I have looked for a marriage in adjoining parishes, and for any sign of a family named HORD. Because Robert was from Sedgefield it seems possible that Ann was fron Norton, where the guarantor lived. HORD does not exist as a name in the records anywhere as far as I can see, so it must be something else. ORD seems the most obvious but I can't find any in the right area. Can anyone suggest what other names might have got written as HORD? Adrian
