Yes I found your response thanks very much Roy. I originally sent my query to both lists and the Craven one seems to process the email much more slowly so it looks as if my query was sent after your reply on the Yorks list, but in fact my two recent emails were both sent from me at much the same time!! Sorry for the confusion. I will look at the aerial map asap! Kind regards and many thanks for your help.

I have found it for you, even an aerial shot. Plum Tree Banks is about a mile and a half south-east of Addingham, midway between Addingham and Ilkley, off the Addingham Wharfedale Road and off a country lane called Cocking Lane. All that seems to exist now is a barn called Plumbtree Banks Lathe (lathe was an old name for a barn). Probably it was once a farm and the barn is all that exists. Go to multimap, enter Addingham and then zoom in on Cocking Lane where it has a junction with Lumb Gill Lane. Use the hybrid mapping. Plum Tree Banks Lathe is just to the south of that junction. I found it originally in a large-scale gazetteer I happen to have of Leeds and Bradford. I suspect your ancestors once lived there at a farm but the barn is all that now exists.
