What follows is my own line  so far as I am able  claim to date

LYONELL HORD/ OURDE/ HURDE

Possibly born in Northumberland in about 1510 he is referred to in the Unthank Muster Roll 1538 - History of Northumberland as Lyell Hord with horse and harness and at Horncliffe as Lionellus Ourde - ten vnum ten et tres quart etc

Lancelot Hord of Horncliffe appears in the 1560 Survey of Norhamshire and Islandshire

Lyonell Hurde buried 1st October 1579 at St Andrew Aukland

Jennat Hurd buried the same 29th July 1586 ( Allyn and Tracey Ord LDS Film 91080 )

LIONEL HURDE/ OURD born 1548

Probably born about 1548 Fishburn, Durham son of Lyonell

Named in the Will of Jennat Hurde 27th July 1586 - both she and her husband Lyonell buried St Andrew Aukland

Durham Records 13th November 1608

Anthony Craddock and William Williamson sold lands at Fishburn, ‘ parcell of the dissolved College of St Andrew Aukland’ to Lionel Ourd and John Ourd , Gent,both of Fishburn

12th October 1609

Lionel Ourd and John Ourd grant the same lands to Mark Ourd son and heir of Lionel

Fishburn

In 1484 Robert Claxton owned all Fishburn. He died and his assets fell to his four daughters. Fishburn was divided between three of these:-

Margaret married Sir William Elmdon (whose dau. married Sir William Bulmer)

Phillis married Richard Widdrington

Elizabeth married Richard Conyers

The Elmdon/Bulmer third part of Fishburn eventually came down to Sir Bartram Bulmer ( Sir Williams greatgrandson) who transferred it to John Orde of Fenwick in 1602

Bartram Bulmer mentioned as a friend in the 1623 Will of John Orde of Fenwick ( Allyn and Tracey Ord)

John Orde of Fenwick lived briefly in Fishburn before returning to North Durham. His son and heir Bartram (Bartram Owrde baptised at Bishop Middleham 1607 - IGI batch P001231 - but later married and living at Holy Island ) seems to have disposed of the third part of Fishburn in 1649.

The actual connection between Lionel and John suggested by the above has not been established.

He married Lucy about 1577 ( Allyn and Tracey Ord)

Deaths

He was buried at Sedgfield 23rd May 1623

Lucy died at ‘ Whinhouse Fishburn’ and was buried at Sedgfield 14th January 1623/4 ( Allyn and Tracey Ord and LDS films 2034478 and 0456553)

Deaths and Burials

See photographs of Ord family headstones in the graveyard at St Andrew, Aycliffe and also details of Monumental Inscriptions for St Andrew.

Gravestone 228 ( the front records deaths before 1760, the back those up to 1788)

Ann Benton wife of George Ord of Newtown died 23 October 1744 aged 6?. Therefore born between 1674 and 1684.

George Ord died 20 May 1761. MI suggests that the stone ages him in his 60s but that cannot be correct

The children all appear to have been baptised at High Street Presbyterian, Stockton indicating that the move to Newtown occurred after 1718

Children:

There are a number of unresolved but important discrepances in the IGI birth information, the Stockton baptismal records and the gravestone details
