THE PARISH records for Kirklington are 1568 to 1812 and are a YPRSoc publication. THere are also OLIVERS at Easingwold. Finally, we found a christening of a WILLIAM OLIVER at Brotton (near Middlesboro' I think) on 02.09.1770. This area is more up where you are searching, I think. Have you any more success, regards Cynthia & John Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
