Hi. Thanks for the dozen or so offers of help. Please let me fill you in with details from David's marriage and death certificates and the snippets you have sent me. David GLEAVE married Emily Anne HEPWORTH on 26 Feb 1895 Emily's dad George HEPWORTH is given as a wool Buyer her address being 20 Grantham Road, Horton. David's death certificate has the informant as F.W.Stead a brother-in-law of Emily. Marian his eldest daughter married Frank Cranfield CHAPMAN in 1910 and ran a market stall in Kirkgate. Florence the only other surviving child from his first marriage married a Arthur Stanley PRIESTLY a solicitor in 1904, so both were self supporting. Why leave his second wife and family out and what happened to her, also, Has anyone have any of the above in their records. Thanks again for helping me out Chris Gleave >From a now overcast Stockport. _________________________________________________________________ Get Hotmail on your mobile.

"I am looking for any GLEAVE's in the Bradford area. In particular I'm after any information on David GLEAVE born 2 Apr 1851 in Ashton-under-Lyne and died at 29 Little Lane, Bradford on 12 Jan 1907." By pointing to the vagueness and paucity of information in your original post, it seems I have forced you to admit that you knew rather more than you first said. I do not blame you particularly, since you are obviously a Newbie to these lists and a novice in how to phrase queries. However, I do believe it is a factor that others should take carefully into account when posting, i.e. give as much information as possible, say what you have done already and precisely what you want to discover further, otherwise you are just wasting the time of other listers. -- Roy Stockdill Professional genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
