Hi

Thank you everyone for your helpful suggestions. I am researching the Drake and Hartley families that lived in Halifax. My husband's 3 x Gt Grandfather is John or Jonathan Hartley b 1822 in Heckmondwike. John married Martha Ann Drake in 1849 and they came to NZ in 1858.

We are trying to find the next generation back (and beyond if possible) but have not had a great deal of luck. I have ordered John and Martha Ann's wedding certificate so I am waiting to see if that will help at all.

I live in NZ so you will have to forgive my lack of knowledge of Yorkshire geography.

Thank you once again for all your help.

Cheers

Diane
