Tracing the Brontë Family in Yorkshire


Patrick Brontë in the 1830 Parson & White's Directory of Leeds 


Article  from: thegenealogist.co.uk//bronte. ""Out of curiosity, I also chose to search the 1861 Leeds and Bradford White's Directory, just to see if there was a mention of the Brontë family. To my luck there was a small mention of "Rev P Brontë". It read: "Mr Brontë and his daughter are authors of several popular novels". This is a very valuable piece of information, as if you didn't know your ancestor wrote a famous novel, just that one sentence can take you on an exciting path of research to see what novels they wrote""
