Hi Sue, I've been struggling quite a bit with this line of my tree but in particular i'm looking for Henry Wilcock born in the late 1700's. I think he married a lady called Betty Helliwell in 1813. Anything you have i'll be grateful for. Thanks Tracey

Many thanks anyway, Mike

TRACEY there are 645 wilcock entries on the disc, even with my map it is hard to work out where is where. have you any more details, sue.

Dear Sue I have William Bracewell, born 21 Jan 1797, baptized 12 March 1797 at the New Market Street Zion Chapel Independent, Skipton. His parents were listed as Miles and Alice. I have seen the original and it does clearly say Miles, though there is another couple called Moses and Alice producing at about the same time and Moses seems a much more likely name. He married someone called Frances (don't know the surname and would love to find the marriage) They had seven children from 1819 to 1837, all baptised in Carleton in Craven (which is just outside Skipton). So although William was a nonconformist, so his baptism wouldn't be in your parish records, that chapel had only just been founded at the time so his immediate predecessors could easily have been C of E. Sorry if it's difficult. But if you come up with either a Miles Bracewell or William and Frances it would be wonderful. Many thanks again, Mike

Hi Sue, Would you mind looking for any Wilcock in the Erringden/Todmorden/Cragg Vale areas please. Thanks Tracey

hi mike, the areas are difficult to work out , even with a map ! there are 63 bracewell entries, but doesnt cover the areas you listed. lots in rothwell/gisburne and kildwick ! do you have any first names, cousin sue.

Dear Sue Many thanks for the offer. Please could you look for the following: Bracewell in the Skipton/Carleton in Craven area, late 1700s Thanks very much Mike Smith (another cousin!)

Hi Sue This is a bit of a long shot. I am looking for :- John Stephenson b.c1832 Richmond, Yorkshire his father was Thomas Stephenson. Thanks Valerie
