All born Bradford, except William. Given John W's age, I would think the 1859 reg would be his.

The same family in 1871 (Henrietta's middle name could be a clue to her maiden name and William's mother is there!):

I can't view the original image at the mo.... it also states that William is Grandson, but the original image may say differently?

O.K. Natasha, I have caught up with where you are and have to tell you that the Craven cousins are mine and I have the family back to c.1510 - a very long, intriguing story!
I assume John's father William was born in Thornton in 1828?

Frances

Hi Dee, you are absolutely right with your finds. I did some work on the Schoon family some years ago for another 'cousin' but it will probably take a while to find the flile.
What I would really like would be for you to find Mercy Drake. I searched round Shipley but never saw a trace.........
