Hi Barry, sorry for spelling your name wrong before.

I live in Essex, near London England. My mother moved here from West Yorkshire on marriage to my father. I still have 2 cousins from my Gartside family living in the Colne Valley in Yorkshire which is only about 12 miles over the border from the Saddleworth area in what is now Lancashire. Grandfather Walter Gartside moved to Golcar in the Colne Valley in search of work. My email address is shackles01@tiscali.co.uk Regards, Pauline.
