    3. Dear All, After having spent a few hours poking around in the British Newspaper Archive today, I have discovered that my HARGREAVE ancestors include the James HARGREAVE of Wortley (1794-bef. 1844), who, in partnership with a couple of NUSSEY brothers, was a prominent woollen manufacturer in Leeds, with a factory at Boar Lane. (His son, Charles James HARGREAVE, (1820-1868) was the younger brother of my g-g-g'mother, Emily HARGREAVE, (1819-1867) who married William MAWSON (1813-1885) in Leeds in 1841. He is the only member of the HARGREAVE family who made it into the Dictionary of National Biography - he was a judge, a professor of jurisprudence and a mathematician.) Another sister, Anne HARGREAVE (1814-1896), married Joseph NUSSEY in Leeds in 1851. Does anyone have any links to, or information on, any of the above names? ATB -- Mike Michael Hargreave Mawson Born in the North Riding, but now a Soft Southern Jessie.
