HOYLAND

A number of years ago my uncle, Roy Sparkes, started to research his family history and it is him I have to thank for the information on these pages. The detailed information I have on computer but not (yet) online. Please email me if you want to know more. Liz



This family came from the West Riding of Yorkshire, around Silkstone, and were miners. Rose HOYLAND, Roy's mother always claimed she was the youngest of 14 children yet his research put her as the 12th of 13 children, so there may be another 1 or 2 stillborn or infant deaths not traced. Photo link below.

The associated names in the West Riding were:-
DYSON, MELLOR, WRIGHT, GLEDHILL and CARR.
