is the name crook because of nearby Crook- 8 miles away?

hi alter, don't think so although i have seen crook on maps of durham and was wondering that myself, i live in salford lancashire, but all my abbott family are from,darilngton,barnard castle,auckland,and walsingham also east layton, i plan to make a visit to durham to search grave yards and look up roads where they lived, and of course view the scenery. nice thought though alter, gwen.

Yep,sorry,quite right,her indoors has just corrected me too-dont know why I had the a in my head. Walked to wolsingham-very hilly-theres agrave on the roadside ,as a memorial to a priest,who was hanged in 1600 or something,just for being a priest by the looks of it !! Went to durham for the first time last week-the cathedral is something else- reserve a good few hours for it- the best example Ive seen. Barnard castle is a canny little place.

Had a trawl through Wolsingham 1841 and the only Milburns that I came across were,Jane 60,Elizabeth 40 and Phoebe 8. All living together,but being 1841,no relationships. No sign of Mary,but could well have married between 1828 and 1841? Regards Tony
