Walker/Pratt families of Hebden, Linton, Malham Moor 1800s - Linton
I am descended from Thomas Walker and Ann Pratt Walker who lived in the area around Hebden, Grassington, Malham Moor. They had at least 7 sons, one of whom (John ~1816-1866) was my g-g-grandfather. John and at least two of his brothers (Edward ~1830-1910? and Joseph 1835-1927) went to the US as miners in Wisconsin and the California gold rush. I believe John's brother William went as well. I do not know if Thomas and Ann went to America. They do not appear in the English census records (nor does John, implying he may have left for the US before 1841). Thomas and Ann were born around 1793. The sons who stayed in England worked as (dairy?) farmers and sold butter. At some point one or two of the boys lived with the Pratt family. I am eager to hear from anyone who is related to these families. - Tim

Lickley family from Little Ouseburn - Little Ouseburn
I am looking for a Matthew Lickley who according to the 1841 census was living in Addle cum Eccup and married to a lady called Sarah. This couple had 9 chuildren that later census records say were born in Little Ouseburn. Looking for this couple I believe his wife was probably Sarah Pears from Sutton on the Forest. I have been searching for the birth of Matthew Lickley based on his age when he died in 1844, and I believe he was born circa 1799. The only record that appears to fit this is the birth of a Matthew Lickley in Kilburn, Nth Yorkshire to a Thomas Lickley and his wife Jane. There were also 2 daughters, Ann and Hannah born to this couple. If there is anyone who has been looking at the Lickley family from this area I would love to hear from you as I have hit a very solid brick wall with Matthew Sarah and their parents. Sarah Lickley nee Pears married a Richard Flowers in 1846 and the couple moved nearer to Leeds.
