NOTE: This is a TEMPORARY WEBSITE ONLY, and is meant as a stopgap until the Main Website has been updated. Some of the notes are incomplete and many of the links will not work. There is still much data to add and conflicts to settle.

This tree has been compiled with the help of many contributors. Sincere thanks to all, and apologies to those whose information has not yet been added.

I have tried to verify as much information as possible but errors may exist. Individuals with uncertain details have a (see notes) label attached to their name.

If photos exist, they will be found in the individual's Scrapbook. Click the "ScrapBook" link in the left menu for a list. Scrapbooks can only contain a limited amount of text so I am now adding more presentable feature pages containing notes, photos and links. These pages are shown to the right of their Scrapbooks, but are presently very few. NOTE: The Main Menu (Top Left) will not work when you are in a scrapbook. You will have to use your browser's BACK button to exit or use the "Exit Scrapbook" link below or here.

Details and photos of individuals labelled as living are automatically filtered out of the Tree, however a separate list is available here for living people who have permitted or asked for their details to be published.

If you do find errors, conflicts or would like to update your line please let me know. Webmaster

Information about Sandal Hall: From Sandra Hargreaves, a descendent of Maria Hargrave:
After Maria Hargrave's death, in 1864 the executors of her will, sons Richard and Henry and son-in-law John Hindle Young, sold the estate to the tenant Thomas Holy Holdsworth who was married to Catherine, daughter of Edward Tew of Crofton Hall. Sandal Hall remained with the Holdsworth family until 1920 when it was sold to a Mr. John Bates.

Eventually, it was sold to Wakefield Corporation in 1944 and was initially used as a home for homeless and disadvantaged children. Ivy Cottage has been demolished.

When the estate passed out of the Hargrave family’s hands, there was an indenture of sale giving details of the estate and its tenants:


The Mansion House called Sandal Hall in the occupation of Thomas Holy Holdsworth.
Yard and Outbuildings.
Greenhouse and Garden House.
Garden and Pleasure Grounds.
Several Plantations and Carriage Roads.
