Looking for any possible info for an area shown as Reedley Leath on a birth listing for Haggate Baptist for Betty Hoyle b 16 Mar 1791 dau of John and Susan. The family are still listed in the same place on the birth of their son Richard in 1796. Thanks for any ideas. Gilly |

Little Marsden joined Briercliffe not far from Haggate. |

We queried this with Roger last night. He thinks it should be Reedley Laithe. This was a farm. Gloria may be able to be more specific as to its location, it didn't stick in my mind as the roads and areas mentioned are very unfamiliar to me. |

I think he said it would be in Reedley Hallows, down by Duckpits, which is at the bottom of Barden Lane. Apparently the word laithe means a farmhouse with a barn and dairy attached as opposed to a farmhouse with separate barn. |

He said it was on Marsden Rd, quite near to the Marsden Cross pub, but I have never heard of it. The people who now have it contacted him regarding its history. I am not 100% convinced it is Reedley Laithe. |

I have looked on Old Maps and cannot see a Reedley Laithe anywhere in the Marsden Rd area. Reedley Hallows does however extend up that way. |
