I'd had a major wobble over Nancy a while back and had abandoned her, thanks for setting me on the right road!

Hope it's right! :)

Pheasant Green is a ten minute walk from Briercliffe so it's looking good :)

Have a look on the Briercliffe Society website, under church records, you will find nancy, born 1808, recorded at Haggate Baptist. I am 4 gt-grandson to her parents Richard and Betty/Elizabeth. I have the family way back in the area.

Thankyou Rex, I can't think how I overlooked that as I'm a member of that forum too and I know that you have a huge amount of knowledge about the area, I'll have to get your book on the chapel.
