Thank you, Ann! Hook falls into the parish of Snaith, wapentake is Osgoldcross,the church I believe is St Johns and Snaith is in the deanary of Pontefract would think Genuki will have it under Snaith couldnt check this morning was having site loading problems ! Ann Yes, Genuki does have it under Snaith, and I'm grateful for the information: as Hook is so much closer to Howden, that's where I'd looked. My knowledge of East Yorkshire is skimpy to say the least. I will keep trying the IGI now I see the dates they cover, but it may yet mean a trip to Beverley. Maggie
