Thanks again, I'll have to pay a visit to Wakefield - it's not too far for me to go.

Thanks also for the link to the West Yorks. archive site, another useful one to know about.
regards Grace

Hello again
The Wharfedale Gen. site is a goldmine, I spent most of this afternoon checking out the Atkinsons, found Henry's parents info and others on my tree such as the Wilkinsons from Burnsall.

Ellen, please - how would I check the quarter sessions - are they on line or do I need to visit Leeds or somewhere?
Thanks, Grace

Thanks Brian,
Just looked at Wharfedale & Craven Gen site (which is great) and got diverted by the Ilkley More Forum and thought I’d found something on the Wharfedale Races under the post “Horse for Courses” – turned out to be about the horsemeat scandal – got brought back to present day far too quickly! Grace

Thanks to both for the welcome and the help. I was hoping there might have been some sort of pub history I could tap into as I know there is for some areas like Horsforth. Is it worth trying to track down the brewery - would they have records (not just of its staff but general info) or is this too long a shot?
I can't tie in Jonathon At. to my lot - they came from Addingham but I've made a note of him as you never know! George B. was Henry's father - how do you get into the Leeds Mercury pages as it may be useful to know?
Thanks again to both of you

Henry Atkinson is on census 1871 aged 25, 81 aged 35 and 1891 aged 43, as a publican of the Red Lion Burley in Wharfedale. Is there any way to find out more about the pub during this period, for example who else worked there?  a while ago I found on the burleycensus.net /photos site, an advertising flier for the Wharfedale Races, Tuesday October 19th, infuriatingly with no year given! It has a list of the handicaps, one of which is the Innkeepers Plate which has H. Atkinson h. m. Ciara 4 years white, Pink. (The burleycensus site seems to have closed now, thank goodness I printed off the photo!)
Any info about the Henry, the pub or the races gratefully received, thanks
