Hi You would need to know a lot about the family. It would be nice to make a connection but you need to trace family back generation by generation. You can read quite a lot about him on the Internet and you need to find out if he had children or brothers and brothers and sisters. Certainly there were Chippendale's in Guiseley in the 1600s but you have to try and related them by research. Who were Harold Chippendale's parent and grandparents. You need to get his relations back for about 150 years before you could prove this. Good Hunting.

His wife Isabella was aged 25 and born at Yeadon. They then had just one child, a daughter Emma, aged 5, born at Guiseley. The marriage of Benjamin and Isabella ABBOT is found with FreeBMD at Otley in the June quarter of 1855, vol 9a page 177. Living with the family in 1861 was a Hannah Abbott, aged 16, described as a niece-in-law. Going to the IGI, Benjamin CHIPPENDALE was baptised at Guiseley on Aug 17 1834, son of Joseph and Catharine Chippendale (batch no. CC009382, source the Guiseley BTs). You then find the marriage of Joseph Chippendale and Catharine BRAYSHAW at Guiseley on 28 June 1832. Going back to the 1861 census, Joseph Chippendale, Benjamin's likely father, was also a clog maker and living at Yeadon. He was aged 51 and suppposedly born at Yeadon, making his birth about 1809/10. Unfortunately the IGI offers a couple of possibles for a Joseph Chippendale both baptised in 1809, one at Otley and one at Guiseley and a third possible (just) baptised at Otley in 1805.
