Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 2,377 Send Message	The Cook request is at the end of the thread please &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& My target this morning is :- Births Sep 1860 CLEGG Clara Ellen Dewsbury 9b 451 Marriages Sep 1890 Cook John Henry Wharfedale 9a 213 Clegg Clara Ellen Wharfedale 9a 213 I thought I had a way of getting into 1881 for Clara Ellen Clegg but it does not want to work today. I am looking for her parents and siblings, to get the fuller picture and help me to take her family back. Many thanks, Frances

Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 2,377 Send Message	The 1891 is my family so DetEcTive's 1861 is the right match, I think. The possibility of brother Solomon will need some more investigation as there is quite a gap in ages?
