Hi Kim
Leeds Bradford and Wakefield are all very close, and the brothers certainly moved away, even when travel wasn't quite so easy as today.
Have you any details from a census, in this area.?
Where did he marry?
Is his father Thomas on his marriage certificate?
If there is a connection, I will certainly do my bit, to help piece it together.
I am now looking further into the family, and moving away from my original line.
