Hi everybody. Just to let you know that my fingers are as straight as a die.
I have had many a pint in the black horse where I used to meet up with a pal of mine two or three times a year. Internally it had lots of glazed tiling probably from the Burmantofts Pottery which was very close by. I can imagine the clan walking down from mabgate fold for a few glasses of sherry on an evening.
I agree with comments re Garys research, excellent job. Regards to all Terry

Hi you Crowthers
What a fantastic story which has taken me nearly an hour to read. Its lovely that you mananged to pick up more relatives along the way and all add your bits of info.
Coming from Armley Leeds 12 myself but still aware of the comaradary that existed in the 'olden' days it was great watching the story unfold through the generations.
My Midgleys used to live down in Sheepscar which isnt far from your Mabgate Fold you mention so probably passed each other on the streets.
One thing about the showman part of the family. In those days there used to be scores of fairs or feasts as they were called in Leeds and I remember as a child travelling to lots of them all over Leeds. There used to be one up York Road which is not far from Mabgate. So it wouldnt have been hard for your family to settle down nearby.
You mention Scholes which is or was a small village. There are 3 around Leeds and just wondered which one you think it is your family come from?
One is on the way to Barwick in Elmet, one near Kirklees and the other Holme Valley.
I am also interested in the Viking genes as well, but being a female am waiting for my sons to have the test as I am sure most people from the Leeds area originate from the Vikings. If your family is like mine, there is always a blonde daughter even though both the parents have darker hair. Just wondered if you have the same gene that we have in our family as I always blame that on the Vikings.
Loved reading it all and hope you managed to meet up eventually
regards Sandymc,
Yorkshire Lass
