Hunts Marriage Index has the following marriages 1705/6 Richard York m Sarah Reeve at Stanground (Stanground is only a couple of miles from Orton Longville) 1717 Richard York m Elizabeth Haines widow at Toseland
NBI has Richard York buried 2 Aug 1742 at Stanground Sarah York buried 30 Nov 1727 at Stanground
Toseland is at the opposite end of the county to Stanground/Orton Longville, so may be a red herring.
Where was the reference to Richard of Orton Longville?

Hi David, Thank you for the info. I have the will of Rich. York and was trying to see if he fits in with the other Yorks I am following. He mentions wife Anne in his codicil. Daughter Dorothy wife of Wm. Rapport? in Northants. He starts the will .. do this on the 19th day of May in 1742" and mentions his cousins William? Peat of Bourn in the county of Cheshire.and William Smith in Peterborough in Nothants to be guardians for Anne, his daughter. He also mentions his nephew Richard Yorke The will was proved the 23 of Dec 1742 He states he is of Bottle Bridge near to Orton Longville. I am still not sure if he fits in with my York research, but thank you for all the information you have provided. Regards, Carole
