A lot of folk from that area were buried at St Matthew's Lightcliffe (including Ann Walker), so it might also be worth looking at the burial records and family stories compiled by the Friends of the churchyard:

May I make a correction to Stu's earlier reply?  The

ROOTSWEB

link is to a very old and out-of-date version of my Calderdale Companion.  For a couple of years, the website has been at

.... and a wonderful site it is, too!
I'm always praising the information on there ... but it's quite easy to become "lost" in a lovely way, on there, as one item draws you on to another, and you forget what you first came on there to find.
