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

Baptism shows father as "Clerk for Mr. Stanhope."
James is said to have been a tanner, skinner, fellmonger (removing hair from skins) and clothier, who lived at Low Fold. However, It seems more likely that James the clothiier was the son of this James.
James' brother, John, was a succesful barrister in Bradford, who was a land agent / solicitor for the Walter Spencer Stanhope estate (see below). He beacame a major owner of the Low Moor iron works and built a vast fortune. His son, John, became MP for Bradford. One of the MP's sons became a Baronet and another became the 1st Earl of Cranbrook.
