The York Country in England
The blue annotations are generally places where our ancestral Yorks lived (the relationships--f, gf, ggf--are those to the Thomas York who came to America in 1870.) In the table below: "B" = born or baptized at, "L" = lived at, and "D" = died at.

Rebecca and Elizabeth (Thomas' aunts) lived in Prospect Cottage in Little Houghton; see Elizabeth's letter to Harry York (their great-nephew).
Gayhurst (red underline): where Kith and Bill stayed for two nights in September,1987, at Mill Farm while they prowled around York Country.
The area covered by this map is about 60 square miles (6.8m x 8.8m)--the city of Colorado Springs would just nestle into this area. No two points on the map are more than 10 miles apart and consequently are within walking distance of each other.
