| Summary of Interests/Message |
I am grandaughter of Elsie Smith, formerly from Rishworth.
Most of the Family were members of Rishworth
Independent Chapel from 1832 and were founders of the church.
Before this they seemed to be of Ripponden.
I have recently found family members in Soyland, Barkisland and Littleborough. |
