[quote="portia"]I did a skeleton tree. It looks like this to me:
Descendants of John WOABANK
Generation No. 1
1. JOHN1 WOABANK was born 1791. He married SARAH UNKNOWN.
Children of JOHN WOABANK and SARAH UNKNOWN are:
i. HARTLEY2 WOABANK, b. 1827.
ii. MARTHA WOABANK, b. 1832.
iii. HENRY WOABANK, b. 1834.
iv. JAMES WOABANK, b. 1839.
v. JOSH (JOSEPH?) WOABANK, b. 1821.2.
vi. JOHN WOABANK, b. 1826.
vii. SARAH WOABANK, b. 1829; m. THOMAS LEE, 12 Nov 1849, St James's Church, Briercliffe.
Thankyou for this tree. I've been chasing my grandad's side of the family for a while and have just returned to my grandma in Briercliffe.
Joseph Woabank (above in red) married Alice Rushworth b 1821, daughter of William Rushworth.
They had a baby John, who died aged 11 weeks in 1856.
It seems they changed the spelling of their name to Wallbank after John's death - on the gravestone he is Woabank, but when they join him they are both Wallbank.
Alice was my great great great grandad's sister.
This is a great site for me. I have learned loads about my family, albeit slowly, and have met some cousins I didn't know previously, so thanks again to everyone involved.
