Akroyds of Halifax
« on: Tuesday 24 June 08 09:24 BST (UK) »
I am trying to tidy up my information about the Akroyd family of Halifax, and I realised that there were huge gaps in my knowledge.

The family started with James of Brookhouse [17??-18??], who married [wife's name unknown?] in 17?? and had children: Jonathan [1782-1847], James [17??-18??] and Alice [17??-18??].  Jonathan married Sarah Wright [17??-18??] in 18?? and had children: Edward [1810-1887], Henry [1818-1892] and Harriet [18??-18??].  Edward married Elizabeth Fearby [18??-1884] in 1838; they had no children.  Henry married [wife's name unknown?] in 18??; they had a daughter Mary [18??-19??] who married a Mr Lynes [18??-19??].

If anyone can resolve any one of the question marks and unknowns here, I should be most grateful
