17th Century Yorkshire
« on: Friday 14 December 07 12:16 GMT (UK) »
I'm out on a long thin limb with this and seek help from anyone!

I have traced my family as far back as the 1700's in Emley, Yorkshire but have come to a halt with DOUGALD LEA (or Douglas; or Leah) who was born around 1691 at a village called Bretton.

(Dougald married Grace Hare in Emley in 1716 and it all ended up here with me!)

Can anyone please tell me about this village and if it had a church? If so where would any records be kept now??

many thanks
Tony

Hello Tony
Bretton / West Bretton is only a couple of mile away from Emley (as the crow flies) it is also the home of The Yorkshire Sculpture Park. I can't say as i've noticed a church but you could try phoning the link below.

Hi

Although I live in Huddersfield I cant say that I know Emley at all cos I dont...Although I have been there or travelled through it many times I dont ever recall seeing a church there.

However I do recall that back in 1969(I think) there was a huge TV mast there that collapsed due to having heavy ice all over it and if my memory serves me correctly as it toppled over it landed on a church!!!!but ive no idea of the name of it.

The church at Emley is still standing and is a beautiful church inside and out.

Haha...I new there was something to do with a church and the TV mast.

It looks like its just one of those small church houses used for Sunday school etc and the mast didnt hit it but the cables sliced through it

Some good piccys here
