26/04/2010 My ancestor William Hill lived in Crathorne at the time of the 1841 census. He appears twice, as there was a copy for Picton
and one for Crathorne. His address is difficult to read, but is something like L...e Bridge House. I see on the current OS
map there is a Lime Bridge, and wonder if there might have been a Lime Bridge House at one time. Perhaps your resident local
history expert could shed light on this matter for me? I am visiting Northallerton Archives next week, and would
be grateful if you could recommend any likely sources there. Needless to say, any help you could give me would
be very much appreciated. Kind regards Malcolm Corbett email: malcolm.corbett@blueyonder.co.uk

I would like to say a very big thank you to the lady in the Crathorne Arms
for introducing Dr M Orr to my husband and I, while visiting Crathorne a couple of weeks ago. His knowledge on the village
was fantastic and the information he relayed to me gave me an insight as to where my ancestors came from such a quaint place.
I managed to get photographs of my great great great grandparents grave such a shame I don't have a picture of them. My
great grandfather was Thomas Matthew hall born 1860 in Crathorne to Thomas hall and Mary Jane Harrison I am led to believe
he ran away from home at the age of sixteen to join the army ,which he did in the royal horse artillery as far as I know no
contact was made with any of the relatives he left behind. A big thank you to Dr Orr for his help any town should be proud
to have a gentleman like him in it best wishes carol.
