Barry Report 27 Jan 2014 18:38

I thought i had got all the sons and daughters of my Grandfather x4 Charles Haley
iron-founder of Bradford,until i found his will and was surprised to find a daughter of his i was not aware of.
It mentions a daughter Nancy wife of James Halliday but know other info
i was wondering if any one could do a look up for me on Nancy and James?

much appreciated.
ps the will looks to be written in 1857

As Nancy is often a nickname for Ann could this be her marriage?
