Carol,
Oh yes, I'm just blown away to find someone who actually lives in the house, you never know.
Rootschat is an amazing site, I've had so much success since joining, forever will be grateful for all the assistance I've been given.

Oh I do love a story like this Jan!  2 years after you started the thread, and you had probably given up hope, up pops the current owner happy to send you photos.

A big welcome to Rootschat Tipper  ;D

What a great success story this is. :)

This map is too late for you a(1888-1913) and does not show the detail you require, but I thought it might be of interest anyway:

(you can explore by zooming in and out and scrolling :))

Ruskie, thank you, that is so good.    Just cannot believe we were so close to this little village when we were in Harewood in 2010 (long way to go back and see again), but having been in the area it is quite amazing to see this map now.
