RESEARCH NOTES: The parish records for Otley, which is less than three miles from Guiseley, show the marriage of Edward Hartley and Sarah Rhodes on 12 JAN 1817. This is the only couple in the IGI extracted records that fits the criteria for this couple. The marriage date of this couple and the birth date of the first child fit the patterns of the time period perfectly. Although most analysis of this data confirms the connection, further research should be performed to confirm this marriage date and maiden name. Family records only show that Edward Hartley married a Sarah. Additional children and marriage information come from extracted records. - Shoebox Genealogy, 2008 The christening and birth dates of an Edward Hartley, born in Guiseley, were located in the Guiseley parish registers. There are a couple other Edward Hartleys born in the surrounding area who may also fit this data, though this is the closest match. An approximate birth date of 1796-1800 and an approximate birth location of Guiseley was replaced with this probable data. Further research may help to clarify this information. - Shoebox Genealogy 2010
RESEARCH NOTES: The connection of the birth record of Sarah Rhodes and the marriage record are strong, but still circumstantial, though they represent the best efforts and research with the available records. Sarah Rhodes is from Guiseley, and the only possible date for her birth is 14 Feb 1796 in Hawksworth, Guiseley, Yorkshire, England. Another Sarah Rhodes was christened in this parish, and was indeed a member of this family who died shortly after birth. There are some other birth records for Sarah Rhodes in other parishes nearby, but no way to prove which one is her. . Two Johns were having children in Guiseley at the same time, but one was from the town of Yeadon, and the other, probable ancestral family, was from Hawksworth. Her family has been distinguished using the residence location listed as Hawksworth. Christening records for this time period in this parish do not list the mother's name. Further research is unlikely to prove the situation one way or another, but this is the more probable selection. - Shoebox Genealogy 2010
