This is the second time for both of us. Sheila was divorced from

We live in Denby Dale, a small town in West Yorkshire, England. Denby Dale is famous for making record-breaking Meat and Potato Pies, they're only made about once per generation, the last one was made in September 2000 to celebrate the Millennium, it weighed 12.16 tonnes and for my sins, I was on the committee. What a weekend that was!
If you visit the Family Tree page, it starts with Ralph Siddle from Wensley. I think that the family originated in Grinton in Swaledale and migrated south over the years to Masham and then Melmerby and finally Leeds about the time of the Industrial Revolution. There's more information here.
Most of the boxes on the Family Tree chart are links to other pages. If the mouse pointer changes into a little hand when you hover over the box, it'll take you to the children of that particular Siddle. Similarly, the links will take you back from a child to a parent. Or you can come back here.
