I'm tracing my family tree. I know that David Fenton's, born 1770 in Lockington, East Yorkshire, grandfather was called William but there is no trace of a William Fenton in Lockington.
Research shows that there was a William Fenton in Calverley.
Would anyone know why people would move from Calverley to East Yorkshire was it purely to find jobs?

I need assistance in finding more information on my great, great grandfather Joshua Hainsworth.
The various England censuses indicate that he was born in Apperley Bridge about 1819-1821. I have checked the baptisms of the Calverley Church Records from 1801-1830 and although there is nearly a hundred baptisms for Hainsworths during that period his name is not there. I am guessing the Hainsworth name was very common in the area and there likely is still families in the region.
The baptisms listed the parents as residing in these places: Stanningley, Farsley, Oaker Lane, Bagley, Rodley, Bramley, Pudsey, Calverley and Apperley Bridge.
Joshua's daughter Mary Jane Hainsworth apparently married my great grandfather Thomas William Sharp in Bradford in 1880. It is possible because there are so many Hainsworths that we have the wrong Mary Jane Hainsworth.
I hope someone there can help me. I also can not find a map of that area at that time period.
