Some kind of long paragrah re West family of Wharfedale (11 miles from Bolton Abbey), too recent, but are any of them yours?

Some buried at the Abbey

Some of these Obit paragraphs / part columns are useful for broadening out family trees.

Mark, thank you for your help and suggestions and links to resources.
Some of the Wests are likely mine, but not in the direct line, later relatives perhaps.  The name Martin seems to be carried down for a long time, but I need to do some extensive research on the family. 
It's interesting that you mentioned Pickard in the earlier post, as my ancestor, and Martin I's daughter, Ann, married a John Pickard was was born in Ilkley.  Their son Samuel was born in 1766 in Addingham, and he ended up moving to Burnley, where a large number of Pickards established themselves.  On to the 20th century, my father was born there in 1921 (not a Pickard by that point).
When I first found the name Pickard in my family I thought it was connected to Picardy in France (there is a French surname Picard) but it turns out it is a variation of Richard.
