Harker of Grassington look up please.
« on: Monday 12 July 04 18:52 BST (UK) »
Richard Harker born 1862, Grassington I believe was my great grandfather.  I am trying to trace his parents. I believe they might be James Harker born 1828, Grassington and Martha Glover born 1827, Grassington. If anyone can confirm this from census records I would be very grateful.

Hi! Sarah

I had a look on the LDS site, and on the 1881 census there is two Richard Harker born in the area in 1863, one is a servant within the household, and the other is living with his uncle.
So no joy there to who his parents are.

There is two entry on that site, one is for a Richard Watson Harker, who was christened on the 01-10-1863 in Grassington, and the parents are Richard Harker and Amandine (nee Armstrong)

There is also Richard Harker b. 1862 in Grassington  parents are James Harker and Martha (nee Glover) it was submitted by by a Anthony Owen, 107. Blenheim Road, Bolton, BL2 6EL.
If it is this family there is a lot of info going back on the family.
Might be worth a look.

Hi Sarah

I stumbled on the rootschat page by accident today and noticed your interest in the Harkers of Grassington.

I'm the Tony Owen that one of the other listers found on the Web and I have many details of the family which you believe you are descended from.

The James Harker (1828) you mention was first cousin to my Great Grandfather Bailey John Harker (b. 1843).

I'm looking forward to receiving your details and hopefully proving that we are related.

Check out my family history web page
http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/o/w/e/Anthony-Owen/index.html

You will find my home email address there. The details on the Site are not necessarily up to date so I can send you a full listing when you reply.

Best Wishes
