One option is for you to order the microfilm of the parish registers you wish you look at through your local Latter Day Saints Library, which they will get for you for a small fee and I think you usually have about 3 months to look at the records. The LDS libraries are in most countries. including many in the UK.
The following are early Wills/Admons of the Hugills which may be worth considering – from Carlisle Archive Service – I believe you can order these for a small fee.

It may also be worth looking at Manorial Court Records for both Crosby Ravensworth and surrounds, which will give details of land transactions, etc. Any land whether passed on to the next of kin, or sold, mortgaged etc, had to have the permission of the Lord of the Manor, and so was recorded in the Manorial Court Records. There will also be Roll Calls of tenants.
