This reply may be a bit past its use by date but yes I have a set of Bishops Transcripts for Hunmanby.

Listed in the is Mathew horsley and Elizabeth Clubley and their 3 children,
Elizabeth 1736,
John 1739,
Richard 1742.

I have more info on both surnames.

Dear all
My 5xgreat-grandfather John Horsley, born around 1773, was living at Hunmanby when his wife died in 1813. Otherwise he appears in the parish of Hutton Cranswick and latterly, Walkington.  He was a farmer, but his son William, my direct ancestor, was a butcher and farmer.

I've not yet been able to establish where John came from, so a Horsley connection to Hunmanby would be of interest. I'd be grateful if those of you with 18th century research on the Horsleys would send me details.

Many thanks
Joyce
