Gledhills near Huddersfiled
I am attempting to research my Gledhill family line and have very little with which to work with - in particular my ancestor Nancy Gledhill.Following are the brief particulars:
We do not know the parentage of Nancy Gledhill or her date of birth.We do know she married John Scott (1785-1845) near Berry Brow.She may have had a brother named Joshua Gledhill as there is a reference to him as "uncle" to her son James.This Joshua Gledhill apparently worked at the Brooks Factory.John Scott & Nancy Gledhill had 7 daughters and one son (James).I descend from their son James who came to Wisconsin, USA some time after 1836.Prior to his coming to America he wed Sarah Woodhead.Nancy Gledhill Scott died in 1853 - her husband John Scott died June 12, 1845 and we have a family tradition that suggests he was buried at Salem Chapel.
Thanks for any help! I will be visiting the Berry Brow/Armitage Bridge/Huddersfield area this September and want to come armed with as much information as I can in the hope of finding specific locations with family connections.
