Sorry Pandora, I'm getting totally confused here. You've found one in 1851, & Keith found the other in 1861.

Naomi, do you need the 1851 for the other or have you enough info?

Pob, Monnington in 1851, had me puzzled. I checked the image & it's Nunnington. Thirsk is about 18 miles from Nunnington.

If so:
