Hello Jan in Bronte Country and Geoff in Sevilla Jan - The Keighley forum sounds like a good idea - thank you. I will send you scans of the photos off-list - I'm still getting used to a new scanner with less than 100% success so far with photographs. The Sunderland family was in Bingley from all accounts that I know of - up to the 1960s when we lost track of them on the death of my grandmother here in Canada. She corresponded regularly with Annie and Ruth. James Sunderland and Frances Core married in Calverly and I believe various family members married and/or lived in nearby communities. My Yorkshire geography is sadly lacking I'm afraid. Geoff - Sadly I know nothing of Ann Stansfield other than what I put in the email. I have just found the probable marriage of Joseph Sunderland and Ann Stansfield registered in 1849 in the FreeBMD index and will order a copy of the marriage certificate. Once that arrives perhaps we may find a connection. I have a few other family mysteries involving the Core and Holdsworth families, and a mysterious Harry Raistrick from Bradford who married Frances Core Sunderland (widow) shortly after her arrival in Canada. He then seemed to just disappear - no divorce, no death certificate, no presence in the Ottawa city directory. But up to this point I have not verified enough information to provide anyone else with a basis for further searching or connecting with their own families. Frances later married (no certificate found yet) Alfred Burwell Crawford, born in Canada but of English parents - from an unknown location. Thank you for your interest. I'll continue to watch the list and will add any new information I can find. Ann in Ottawa ===================== From: "Jan Perkins" <janperkins@blueyonder.co.uk> Hi Ann Wonder if it is any use me trying the Keighley History forum for you...................................certainly Gilstead Lane, sounds like a Bingley address. Send me the pictures and I will add them to our Forum with a copy of your e-mail.....after all more fingers in the pie and all that. ========================== Jan in Bronte Country Webmaster & archivist for Keighley Local History Society keighleyhistory.org.uk From: Geoff Watson <geoffwatsone@hotmail.com> Ann An interesting email - and your STANSFIELD connection caught my eye...... A certain George STANSFIELD married one of my wife's indirect ancestors, Mary HOWKER, on 30 August 1792 in Haworth, which is within a few miles of Bingley, which in turn contains an area known as Gilstead, and Halifax (see later) is a few miles in the other direction......
