Hi Diane, Its a very hard request to answer that's probably the reason for NO response. But I will try and see if I can. First.......If you have copies of the different census years you will have an idea where the family were living at the time. So with that and a map you will be able to plan your stroll but be warned many of these places will not be the same as they were 150 years ago. Thomas was born in Northowram & Martha in Halifax. Bradford is about 8 miles from Northowram It looks on the 1861 census that all the children were born in Northowram including 9 year old Alice. I can not make out the name of the Lane they were living in in 1861. in 1881. Dwelling: 9 Jaggers Buildings (Upper Lane) Census Place: Northowram, York, England Source: FHL Film 1342058 PRO Ref RG11 Piece 4425 Folio 5 Page 3 Marr Age Sex Birthplace Thomas SPEIGHT M 72 M Northowram, York, England Rel: Head Occ: Road Labourer Martha SPEIGHT M 69 F Northowram, York, England Rel: Wife Thomas SPEIGHT U 26 M Northowram, York, England Rel: Son Occ: Stone Cutter Charles SPEIGHT U 22 M Northowram, York, England Rel: Grand Son Occ: Brewery Labourer Henry HARDY U 41 M Northowram, York, England Rel: Lodger Occ: Stone Cutter That clearly gives you an address. I would start with a current map of the Northowram area,(Smiths) then try and see if any of the Alan Godfrey maps cover the area they are usually about (1903). Have all the census information on hand. And the Ecclesiastical District where they children may have been baptised. The census will have that. That's of course if they were Church of England. Lots to cover before August I am afraid. Have a good trip. Kindest regards. Elaine in Ottawa. Temp Bradford List Admin.
