I think that Robinson may have been the child of Abraham's daughter Elizabeth, but I could be barking up the wrong tree there! I'm not sure who's child Martha Hill was. > > Joseph Tetley head married 28 years Drayman born Wilsden > Sarah H Tetley wife 29 years Worsted Weaver born Wilsden > Greenwood B Tetley son single 5 years born Wilsden > Willie Tetley son single 1 year born Wilsden > of 203 Main St RG 13/4180 ED 3 FN 39 I think that Joseph was the son of William & Maria Tetley (of the Heaton Tetleys). He married Sarah Hannah Brooksbank in 1894. Their son, Greenwood Tetley (who may have been named after the Martha Greenwood who witnessed his parents' marriage) was awarded the Military Medal in WW1. When she married, Sarah's father was 'unknown', but this looks very much like her on the 1881 census! In fact she is the only likely Sarah Brooksbank in the 1881 census!
