Hi again Bruce. Well here today we got primarily rain and + 3C I guess you are north of 7 and thus are in the snow. I didn't think there was a MOOREHOUSE connection but thought it possible that our two APPLEYARDS might be connected (but one generation removed) as the towns are only a couple of miles apart. From that region they all attended Guisely Parish Church. I have not researched the APPLEYARD name so can't offer anything at present.

Interesting how we run across people who have similar names in their lines but which seem to be unconnected. I also have the Wood name in my line but they came from the Upper Hob Cote, Keighley and possibly the Haworth areas. Interesting to that you and I are not far apart. I live in Richmond Hill Ontario.

I have come to a dead and believe that it is very possible that my line came from Silsden prior to living in the Keighley area.. I would be very interested in hearing from any interested in the Moorhouse family in Silsden especially if they think they may have connections that are also ii the Keighley and Bingley areas. My great great great grandparents were John Moorhouse, bn ca 1760 and Betty Appleyard bn ca 1763 in Horsforth. They were married 3 Feb 1784 at Bingley. I believe my great great great great grandparents were John Moorhouse, bn ?, who married Eleanor (Ellen) Shuttleworth, bn ca 1736 at Cowling, 15 Sep 1760 at Bingley. If you think that you have any information that might be of help to me I would be very pleased to hear from you.
