"Paper-mill" Ords
I'm descended from the "paper-mill" Ords on my mother's side. My grandfather and great-grandfather were both called Benjamin Thomas Ord (printers and stationers in West Hartlepool, Co Durham). Several generations of their forbears operated paper mills in the area (Lamesley, Ralley, Croxdale and Tudhoe mills). They include John Ord (b. 1784, d. 1824) and Christopher and Jonathan Ord (b. abt 1735).
Has anyone traced this line further back, or does anyone know what the link is, if any, to the Sedgefield and Croxdale Ords?
Jackie.
