Census place name URTON? Completed with thanks
« on: Tuesday 23 July 19 11:08 BST (UK) »
My wife found, this place name URTON for one of her relatives in a census at Wetwang,  we cannot find any place in Yorkshire with this name, only Airton, North Yorks, did it URTON ever exist?

Two questions:

Was this a transcription, or the census image?

Which census, and a reference or name, so that we can perhaps look for ourselves?

Urton for Airton sounds feasible  :-\
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.

Hi, its funny how thing work out, looking through the parish records, most have Urton, Yorkshire, but in the last Parish Record found just a few minutes ago, its states of Urton, Nr Scarborough, so i would think this means Irton Nr Seamer.
Best,
Phil

Looking at an old map there is also East and West Ayton near to Seamer.  :-\
