Graham, It looks to me if there is one Hornby but between two districts. Bedale and Great Smeaton in Northallerton. It appears to be much closer almost on the door step to Great Smeaton than Bedale though. Great Smeaton is in NorthallertonThere is a Hornby in Lancashire as well. I might even put, Hornby, nr, Great Smeaton, Northallerton, NRY, England http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/multi_place_page.jsp?st=Hornby&c_id=0&c_type=0&expert=&sdx= Edie ------------------------------------------ From: Graham Pearey via <yorksgen@rootsweb.com> To: yorksgen@rootsweb.com; Subject: Re: [YORKSGEN] Sculcoates Can I ask how people record a place name where there are two instances in the same county. I have family who lived in Hornby, near Great Smeaton in NRY; however, there is also a Hornby, near Bedale. At the moment, I am writing Hornby (near Great Smeaton), North Riding of Yorkshire, England. Many thanks Graham
