Hi Barb, Many thanks for all your transcription posts. They are really interesting and I know that all our members on the WES list look forward to reading them each day. I think this is perhaps the first post that relates directly to my family. Isaac SLACK of Skirwith Hall was my great great grandfather. His eldest daughter Elizabeth SLACK (Bessie) married my great grandfather Lancelot LANGHORN at Skirwith in 1877. The SLACK family at Skirwith were also linked by marriage to the TEASDALE's at Ousby and the SOWERBY's at Bank Hall.
