Yes, Jenny I have a lot of those names in my records. Most appear in the Westow Line starting with William Hebden who is thought possibly to be a William Hebden born in Husthwaite in 1775.
The infuriating thing with the Hebden genealogy is that we have the beginning of it and then a big gap of a couple of hundred years when records were rubbish and then they crop up all over the country ( not just the Yorks dales) and trying to link them back to their origins is very frustrating.
None of your names appear in my actual line as we must have been the most unadventurous branch, not moving away from "point of origin" till the 1800s.
