For those of you, who like me, have ancestors from the Ancient Parish of Giggleswick. I hope to provide links to relevent databases, websites and guides... as well as update all of you on my own research and projects!

About Me
- Bradley's Giggleswick Genealogy Blog
- I have been doing genealogy for nine years, but it was not until a year ago that I learned of my Giggleswick ancestors. While taking a class on British Family History, I began seriously studying my Yorkshire ancestors... What began as a class project has now turned into a year-long pursuit! I am interested in all Hudsons from Giggleswick. Other surnames include: Metcalfe, Morphet [Morfit, Morphett, Morphit, etc.] Carr, Brayshaw, Jackman, Sharp, Wolfenden, French, Bell, Buller, Heaton and Stockdale... and basically all other surnames in the area! It probably ties with me somewhere!
Welcome Fellow Giggleswickians!
Please feel free to contact me regarding Giggleswick... especially if you connect to the ancient village or have some genealogy to share!

Your blog looks great! It makes all of us wish we were Giggleswickians. I also have ancestors from England. They lived in Todmorden, Lancashire. I haven't ever been there, but hope to visit before too many more years pass. I actually have a video taken at a Fielden family reunion in Todmorden. Winter semester I am taking Hist 413 and hope to find out more about my ancestors who lived there.

History 413 was a lot of fun. I recommend taking at least one British class for all those with British roots---since its a lot of fun and teaches really good methodologies.
Giggleswickians are the best ancestors to have. Its a rather well preserved parish and there's book indexes at the County Record Office in Northallerton. (Trying to figure out a way to buy them but theyre not for sale...)
Settle and Giggleswick
I have been doing genealogy for three years, all my patenal side where born in Settle or Giggleswick. I have a direct line back to 1684. It seem to take more and more of my time as it grows. My family Surname is Young.
It is the best project I have under taken, I hjave found out more about all my family, than I thought possable.
Hi Bradley,
During the research of my own Hudson Family Lineage, I have started to extend out to find distantly-related Hudsons.
In doing so I found William Hudson (born about 1771) who married Mary Blakey in 1816 in Giggleswick. He was my 3rd great grandfather of wife of grand nephew of husband of 1st cousin 3x removed. The Line continues through his Son Thomas Hudson (born 1822 in Stackhouse, Giggleswick). Next was Joseph Hudson born 1852 in Langcliffe.
Does this fit in to your Tree?
Best regards
Ian Hudson
