Notes

Richard Wellock (1844-1931) and Mary Wellock (1845-1921, née Walker) apparently never lived in Hebden together, although his father and later his brother Robert ran the High Garnshaw farm for several decades, and Richard appears with them on the 1851 and 1861 Hebden census. In 1861 he was working as a lead miner.
