Hello Michael, Well your post jumped out at me because my grandmothers family were Hargreaves, however they originally came from Shaw in Lancashire and moved to Sowerby Bridge in West Yorks. I am from and live in Leeds, and don't laugh at my name, it is a coincidence, the Wortley's are from Norfolk. I don't think there is any connection of my Hargreaves to yours. However a bit ago I was searching for my grandfathers uncle William Hargreaves' marriage in the Birmingham area, I could not find one so did the whole of the country in case they married where his wife was from even further south, or in Lancs. I was and still am surprised to find they married in Wortley in Leeds? I am now wondering would they do that if family were around that area? I have not ordered the marriage cert yet. Could SKS on here get access to the entry on ancestry and email it? Have you looked on Leodis.net there are photos of the Hargreaves Nussey woolen mill. Looking forward to hearing from you Kind regards Louise Wortley Leeds, West Yorks. Sent from my iPhone On 5 Feb 2012, at 08:01, west-riding-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
