Hi List, Haven't posted anything in a long while, but I too have a (Tenuous) SMITH link in the Calversyke area, not a million miles from Bingley. This family is associated with my Doncaster based WINDLE tribe. I don't really want to delve too deeply into any SMITH lines, as I'm having enough problems with my WILDMAN and CHAPMAN research in the area, but if anyone can associate their research to this family, I would like to hear from you. My Maternal GGGrandmother Sarah Ann WINDLE died 7. 5.1913, at 281 Calversyke Hill Keighley. (was buried Hyde Park Doncaster). The informant on the death certificate is named as Eliza SMITH "Daughter" - present at death. It would appear that my GGGran went to live with the SMITH family in Calversyke at some point following the death of her husband in 1890 (at 10.Swifts Court, Marshgate, Doncaster). So far I've not been able to find any reference to Calversyke Hill or by another reference to it as " Calvey the Hill, Calversyke"! Also, I don't know of any daughter by the name of Eliza, I've traced all the children I know of except one (who vanished into the Keighley area from Doncaster early 1900's, where she's with my GGGran as a visitor in a household there on the 1901 census. (I've lost the census record for the moment, so unable to give details). Some time ago I was sent the following info (thanks to Lynn SMITH): Eliza Smith died 30th July 1932 in her 71st year . Second wife of Robert Smith . First wife Martha died 7th April 1892 age 53. Jane Ethel daughter of Robert and Eliza died 23 January 1897 aged 2.Robert died 21 June 1915 in his 70th year. I don't know if this Eliza is the same person my GGGran stayed with or totally unconnected, but if anyone can make anything of a connection to my WINDLE family, please contact me.

I have a couple of William SMITH links - it's a long shot, but there might be some connection. I also have couple of stray SHACKLETONs that I have recorded, but probably no direct connection to you; for example, 1841 Census.
