A few D. locations
Many thanks to Ian Goddard for this picture &
description. Click
here for full size picture.
Here are a few Dearnley locations.
The picture is taken looking eastwards from
here
The far side of the valley is Honley Wood Bottom, home of Oliver D & some of his descendants with Honley Wood
occupying the far side of the valley. The valley turns and runs behind the end of the nearer ridge to join the main
Holme Valley. Honley village is sitting on top of the ridge opposite - if you zoom in you can see the tower of St
Mary's which was the Honley chapel.
On the horizon at the left hand end the long white building with the dark roof and an outbuilding with the gable
turned to the camera is Stirley Hill on the far side of the Holme Valley where Joseph D lived. The valley side below
it is Park and to the left is Ashes Lane. The latter two are places where Roger D, Oliver's contemporary lived. Lumb
where some of the Stirley Hill descendants lived is behind the far ridge at the left hand end at the top of a side
valley and Bottoms where Valentine D lived is further down that little valley.
Further to the right you can see the top of Emley Moor TV mast about 7 miles distant. Kirkburton where many of the
Dearnleys were married and buried lies in that direction. The village on the horizon just to the left of the mast
is Farnley Tyas - I don't think we have any Dearnleys there.
Down near the bottom of the far valley is Grange (near Thunder Bridge on the map) where Roger D finally settled &
where the family seems to have lived on largely under the radar for another generation or two. Joseph D of Stirley Hill
is said to have been from Kirkburton parish so I think it likely that he would have been one of that family. Grange
is in Thurstonland township & Thurstonland village in on the horizon towards the right hand end.
Compliments of the season to you all. - Ian

New Dearnley
Info
|
| |
Ian Goddard has discovered some found some Dearnleys living in Derbyshire/Cheshire (early 1500s), with property in the Holme Valley, Yorkshire. It is becoming evident that the Dearnaleys appeared in Yorkshire, rather abruptly, at the end of the Civil War (1642–1651). Ian suggests that, perhaps, with a predominantly royalist Cheshire, they could have had Parliamentary sympathies & moved in anticipation of old scores being settled.

Missing Dearnleys

relationship known) were two of 100,000 "British Home Children" (alleged orphans) sent to Canada by British Child Care organizations
(1857-1957).
Florence (age 13) arrived in Niagara-on-the-Lake in 1903 and Alfred (age 15) arrived in
Toronto in 1906.
