Scargill/Leather/Kaye/Gill families in Emley

[Holmemoss]

My ancestors are Scargills in Emley (1840s onwards) but I have many marriages with Leather, Kaye and Gill families, many of whom seemed to be marrying each other.

I am trying to make sense of all this so I am posting to ask if anyone else is researching these families in the 1800s.

Researching Scargill in Emley and elsewhere. Have links with the Leather and other families in Emley.

Holmemoss; I have much intermarrying in my trees in both Lincolnshire and especially Cambridgeshire. To such an extent that I recently asked whether the practise was widespread or peculiar to the counties mentioned. It looks as though it may well have been very widespread indeed.

Redroger, I don't know what the situation was 'down south' but there were many small villages in the West Riding where people tended to stay (as the work was there) so the marriages were within a relatively small community.

Weenie, I have just found out that I have been in contact with Emley1786 for many years before he joined Rootschat. He is the expert on Scargills so I suggest you contact him.

Weenie - Many thanks for the info on Henry Scargill of Lower Whitley. I have record of him and his family - his eldest son William Edward also had a large family. Henry hailed from Thornhill originally where he was baptised in 1843 son of Edward.

Emley, I have not researched the childrens families as of yet but will be doing, i have been really concentrating on my direct lines - but if you be so kind may be we could swap info, i have done much research on Charlotte Peaker.

Lower Whitley is near Thornhill, not Elland.

May I please ask for the descent of Henry and his father Edward
