Hi Michael, I agree with the previous replies that we must all be related somewhere down the line. It`s interesting that your G G Grandfather Isaac came from near Huddersfield (where exactly?) and sold meat. My descendants spent a couple of generations in Horbury, near the Huddersfield/Wakefield area and were butchers. I haven`t got an Isaac in my tree, bit then it`s not complete by any stretch of the imagination. Maybe if you go back a generation or two more we might join up. I can send you more details if you need them.
