Summary of Interests/Message
I am grandaughter of Elsie Smith
formally from Rishworth.Most of the
Family were members of Rishworth
Independant Chapel from 1832 and
were founders of the church.
Before this they seemed to be of
Ripponden. I have recently found
family members in Soyland, Barkisland
and Littleborough.

Elsie Smith married Herbert Buckley.
