Barry,
I'm not sure what you mean when you say, "the family never left Yorkshire
after coning from Wales via Lancashire". Clearly, Edward's parents stayed
in Lancashire, as did his brother, John.

Hello Julie,
Unfortunately, for some reason that is wrong about the Derby link as the
family never left Yorkshire
after coning from Wales via Lancashire. The joys of family history.
Edward and Mary were married in Harwood near Bolton Lancashire 8 July
1871.
My understand is that Alexander Isaac (Grand father) was born in
Sheffield, Yorkshire or there abouts.
Edward Isaac Great Grand Father ended up in Yorkshire (Wakefield
District- Outwood)
as a mine manager or the like. My father was born in Dewsbury.
So I class myself as half Australian, quarter Welsh and quarter
Yorkshire, as strange mix.
Thanks again Julie,
Barry
