Now, here is another twist!
Yesterday I was investigating a DNA match for my husband and I have been putting together a tree, but hadn't been able to find a link.
However, I suddenly realised this morning that a 3x-great-grandmother of the DNA match was called Elizabeth Colvard (or variants) and that she married in 1798 at All Saints, Darton, which isn't far from Wakefield. So I need to establish whether there is a link between her and the Colvard family in Wakefield.
She married by Licence:
First name(s) Elizabeth
Last name Colvard
Age 18
Birth year 1780
Residence parish Darton
Residence county Yorkshire
Licence year 1798
Licence date 27 Mar 1798
Intended marriage place Darton PC
Spouse's first name(s) Thomas
Spouse's last name Tissington
Spouse's age 21
Spouse's parish Darton
Spouse's county Yorkshire
