I noted you are seeking to tie same name families that lived in two different areas of Yorkshire.
For landed families who owned estates. Often, for some, their meeting place was "the season in London" when estate owners removed themselves and their families to a house they probably owned in London - those in upper echelons partied with royalty or members of the royal court. Fathers sought to marry off their daughters and sons to the offspring of rich fathers. These landowners took their servants with them and those servants too might even find a partner. I found one of my female Yorkshire ancestors had found a London coachman to marry in the church of "St. George, Hanover Square".
Other country folk could meet partners in a 10 mile radius. This meant that one partner would walk 5 miles eastward to church and the other partner would walk 5 miles westward to the local church = ten miles distance. If there was an annual feeing fair or market fair then villages might all climb aboard a wagon and travel to the fair where singletons would meet a beau.
Once upon a time GENUKI would clearly list nearby places but now when asked to show places 5 miles away (for instance) you are shown a map covered with teardrops. I've clicked on a few such teardrops and saw that Bishop Monkton was surrounded by large Manor Halls / Manor houses.
Most of my ancestors whether English, Scottish or German used the coimmon naming pattern. The only time they deviated was to give a baby the name of a benefactor, such as a man who had given a parent a job, or a benefactor and his wife who could not have children - if the latter, the child could expect to receive an inheritance.. Additionally when another member of their kith and kin failed to have a child named after themselves for whatever reason, then their name would be carried on by another couple.
