There is both a North and South Otterington in North Yorkshire - not far from Northallerton. There is a Newsham less than a mile from South Otterington but no idea if there is a Newsham Green. There is a Newsam Green which falls under the Parish of Whitkirk about 4 miles East of Leeds in West Yorkshire. (which is nowhere near Northallerton) Hope this is some help, Emma.

Emma, I think that must be the place. They went from Cawood, to Newsom green then to Leeds. Guess the guy from Otterington is not my man then............DARN thanks for your help
