All genealogical records on this website are listed in chronological date order commencing with the earliest life events through to the latest. In the main records are kept separately for each named parish listed to the left of this narrative, though in some cases where families have entries in two parishes, such as Leeds and neighbouring Rothwell, you will find some instances where information from outside the parish is included. This was a concious decision made to keep the family groupings together in one place for ease of reading and preparing family trees.

Several notes have also been added throughout the various sections helping to explain, expand or enhance the archive material.

Family Trees for each parish can be found in the pdf files on a separate tab under each parish section, or simply click on the button under the headings to jump to the link. These pedigrees have been compiled using all available archive source material and in many cases are linked to one another. Indeed with the help of the information contained in church registers, wills and memorials of indentures my own paternal family line can be traced back several centuries through Richmond, Bolton-on-Swale, Boroughbridge and Spofforth.
