Malcolm,

Thank you for your reply. My queries were for my cousin's family. I will send them the link you provided so they can continue their research.

Thanks!
Donna

    Thank you for letting me know.    Something else that helped me a great deal were the West Yorkshire Land Taxes which are on Ancestry.   I was able to establish when some ancestors died and who actually inherited the land.   These records list tenants as well as land owners so most heads of families should show up.   The heading says from 1704, but in fact they only have them from 1781.   West Yorkshire Archives Service have 1705 - 1708.
