Just a bit of nonsense for those of you who, like me, have Yorkshire ancestry but weren't actually born and bred there.
The village/town of Slaithwaite is near Huddersfield. It is pronounced Slough-it and is whereabouts the TV programme "Where the heart is" is filmed!
Wonder is Husthwaite is pronounced Huss-it? ?? lol 
Jan
(My apologies to those that "know" and I have it totally wrong!)
