A large straggling village, upon an eminence, west of Pateley Bridge, abounding with lead Mines, and in which there are rarely less than five hundred inhabitants of this village employed. The Mines are Sunside, Prosperous, Providence, Cock hill, and Merryfield, which produce annually about 2000 tons." This would fit with Nidderdale as given in one of the later censuses. 1851 I read as Greenahill 1861 I read as Greenhohill 1871 Greenahill Regards, -- Helen Oram

Dear Helen, Thank you so much! I go along with your deductions and will get out my map later tonight to clarify visually. Yes, close to Pateley Bridge sounds the job.
