    3. [For Murray Mitchell (Canada),but please read this,you might be able to help him] Hi Murray, For census purposes the densely populated centre of Bradford was split into 2 districts--East End & West End. Bradford Moor is in the East End,but the surname index for 1841 showed no entry for AGLEY at all.So I looked at the index for West End and found just 1 entry for AGLEY. I found the entry on the microfilm,and think this is your Elizabeth----- 1841 Census Bradford,West End. Providence Street John MADEN,aged 30,Woolcomber. Henrietta MADEN,aged 40. Joshua MADEN,aged 25,Woolcomber. James AGLEY,aged 15,Woolcomber. Elizabeth AGLEY,aged 12. [All born in Yorkshire] As you know the 1841 census is very poor on detail,and the ages often bear no resemblance to the truth.So there are no relationships given. I would guess that James was Elizabeth's older brother,but whether the Madens were their relatives is anybody's guess. Incidentally there were no AGLEYS anywhere in Bradford on the 1851 census card index.With such an unusual name I should be able to look through all the 1841 surname indexes to see if there were any more in other districts. You may have to get Elizabeth's marriage certificate to find her father's name. I will deal with George RILEY [Yes,I found him also--with parents],after I've had my evening meal. Cheers------Derek.
