Thank you for your help in looking for George Hield although it was unsuccessfull. I have subscribed to the ENG-EAST-YORKS-L@rootsweb.com mail list, I think this that is the list for Scarborough. My Hields were in West Yorkshire in 1841 but before that they were associated with Escrick,Willberfloss and Weldrake which i think come under East Yorkshire. The family had strong connections to the methodist church. In 1845 one Hield family emigrated to America settling in Winsconsin. I have been sent a family tree which includes detailes of the journey, there is also reference to a letter from Wesley (the methodist minister) who was a friend of the Cordeux family. Edward and Hield and Mary Corduex were married in Boswell Church on 19 Sep 1819 but i have been unable to find out where this was. Thanks again.
