Hi listers, What problems there have been recently!! Well I have ditched MSN (problems) for this work and swapped to my default ISP which will hopefully give less problems. Anyway, back to the task in hand. This is a repeat of a message sent previously with MSN. Is there anyone who could give me any more information on one THOMAS PARKINSON (born circa 1813/1814 in Pudsey - died August 1874 in Farsley)? On 23 May 1836, he married REBECCA CRAVEN at Calverley Parish Church (St. Wilfred) and, from the parish register, his occupation was a farmer. In August 1837, the first of their known children was born (Elizabeth), followed in 1844 by Sarah Ann, and in 1850 by John Craven. In 1837, Thomas and Rebecca were living at Wadlands Hall. An extract from "A Topographical Dictionary of Yorkshire" dated 1822 has the entry under "Wadlands" stating that Wadlands was a farmhouse in the township of Calverley; 3 miles from Bradford. By 1849, it looks like Wadlands Hall may have been known as "Wadlands Grange", at least for a time. Has anybody any further info. on the history of Wadlands? Regarding Thomas and Rebecca's children - ELIZABETH PARKINSON married ABRAHAM PAWSON in 1861 at Farsley - SARAH ANN PARKINSON married JOSEPH FARRAR ( Sarah Ann died early 1883 and it seems possible that Joseph remarried to a Nancy Armitage later in 1883) - JOHN CRAVEN PARKINSON married ELIZABETH GOTT in 1876 in Farsley. Do any of the above names appear in your tree? Has anyone any details on the birth of Thomas Parkinson and the names of his parents? Any help would be most appreciated to break through my "brick wall". Michael from Lancashire.
