I have just found this posting on Rootschat and I would like too add my bit too see if anyone can move me forward on my Hartley branch.
Here goes my great great grandmother was Betty Hartley (according to census born in Sowerby 1795) The only one I found was father David Hartley. Betty (Elisabeth) married William Naylor in 1819. On the parish register for her marriage she is recorded as from Erringden?
Their youngest Mary married William Kendall and their daughter Ann Kendall married George A Slingsby
Betty Naylor nee Hartley was buried at Luddenden having died in Midgley.
I also looked at the coiners as both names Hartley and Varley were mentioned in sentencing the latter being pardoned.
I have now found a David Hartley baptised at Sowerby 1769 father John. He married Betty Varley at Heptonstall 1789. He was recorded as living in Stansfield and Betty was from Heptonstall (reasonably confidant that these are mine)
I think Betty Varley was born in Illingworth (not sure) father William.
Not found the demise of David or Betty Hartley nee Varley neither have I managed too find any information on John his father or his mother. Can anyone help me
