At the insistence of my grandchildren I am revisiting a part of their family history which I have not looked at for some years. My late husband was the great great grandson of Maria BENTLEY and Thomas HURTLEY who were married 18th February 1833 at Linton in Craven. When last I looked at this family I was very kindly helped with many generations of the HURTLEY family but for Maria I have nothing beyond a note saying that she was the daughter of Robert BENTLEY and his wife Isabella. This latter rings true since Thomas and Maria named a daughter Isabella and there have been other isabellas since. But of the antecedents of Robert BENTLEY and even his wife's maiden name, I know nothing. I am guessing that, in that area which must have been rather remote 200 years ago, they may be in a neighbouring parish, so if anyone has any special knowledge I (and my grandchildren) would be most grateful for any help. Thank you Alice CLARKE
