Dear Mike
Thank you for replying and the offer of help.
My husband's family is GRUFFERTY. He was from Mayo Ireland, where I know a lot of Farm labourers came from in those times.
James bought the family and settled but moving on to Leeds before the First World War.
We have lived in York in the past but had not got interested in Family History, much to our regret . Living now in Brisbane Australia we do visit places by Google Earth and have been to Bedale about 1992.
Thank you again
Brenda
