One Name Studies: H to M / HARTLEY and Yorkshire Coiners
« on: Friday 21 July 06 10:29 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I've been continuing my Grandfathers research on my branch of the Hartley family, based around Cragg Vale, Mytholmroyd, Heptonstall and Eastwood, in West Yorkshire.
The family tree has been traced back to 1703 to William Hartley. William was the father of 'King' David Hartley, the leader of an unscrupulous gang called the Cragg Vale or Yorkshire Coiners.
I am directly descended from William and David and recently launched a website dedicated to the Yorkshire Coiners and our family history. It contains a great deal of information including a copy of my family tree, census information and photographs, and will be developed further as I gather more information.
The website can be seen at www.yorkshirecoiners.com
I hope the information contained might be useful in for other family research and would be interested to hear from anyone who may be related, particularly if they precede William as I am struggling to get any further back. I can be contacted through the website.
Regards,
Steve Hartley
