Hi, I'm new to the list. Is anyone interested in Thornton/Bradford & in the above surnames, particularly Bentham? My gggfather was Thomas Bentham born late 18th century, married 1801 to Alice Wright. Both were born in Yorkshire but don't yet have details of year or place. Their children were almost all born in Thornton, nr Bradford, incl my ggfather, Oliver, a master shoemaker. Look forward to hearing if anyone has info or is interested in any info I have already. Diana- Hertford, UK diana@nrdav.freeserve.co.uk (if you wanted to reply off list)
