Horsfall of Todmorden/ Stansfield
« on: Wednesday 16 July 08 21:50 BST (UK) »
If anyone is researching the Horsfalls of Todmorden, Stansfield, Heptonstall etc., I would be interested in sharing information. My ancestor was Abraham Horsfall (born c. 1783), who migrated to Lancashire (Marsden/ Briarfield) where he farmed.

Late to the party, but my husband's Horsfall line is from Tod/Stansfield. I see an Abraham born 1834, son of Thomas. Perhaps it is a family name? I have a fair amount on the family.

Cheers,
Kathleen

Thanks, Malcolm. I do believe I have reaped all I can from the site, but it never hurts to have another look. Highly recommended to other researchers!
