Mine few are in Yorkshire. Heap Bridge is near to where I live and i have never associated them. But there is a bridge there. There was a stone quarry and my husband suggests its the waste making the heaps.

So, it looks as though Mary Crawshaw's parents were Thomas Crawshaw and Mary Whitely (does this mean I'm distantly related to the late Richard Whitely?!! Oh no!!  ;D)

You'd think, if they married in Elland, one of them at least would have originated from there! I'm thinking that they both probably came from Ripponden, in view of what Pauline says about the choice of marriage places.

What about the surrounding area for Ripponden, as in Stones and Rishworth Triangle, ETC are also listed on the IGI as Ripponden mine are from Rishworth. As i have been and looked up in the parish records of Rishworth Independent Chapel to confirm this. and yes there are a few Whitleys in there!
