I was recently contacted by John Mullholland, who lives in Utah USA, and is researching his Bancroft line that descends from Abraham Bancroft who lived on an isolated farm called ‘Old Snap’ in the Keighley Parish.
Not much is known about Abraham, apart from where he lived, but he is probably the same Abraham who died in 1774 and was buried at Haworth Church.
Old Snap farm is still there today, and although it is in the Keighley Parish, it is geographically nearer Haworth, which is while people living in the area tended to use Haworth rather than Keighley for birth, marriages & deaths.

Ik heb geprobeerd een foto te vinden van Old Snap, maar dat is niet gelukt.
Thank you Jar for your email.
