There were other members of the Marshall family connected with Bridge End, but I have failed to compile their pedigree. Similarly with regard to the Sykes' of Rastrick Common and Slead Syke. Preachings were occasionally held at the house of John and Hannah Sykes, on the Common, and latterly at John Sykes', Slead Syke. John, of the Common, died 1816, aged 68, his son Joseph died 1844, aged 58, and his son Benjamin died 1843, aged 30.

Aspinall.-Four brothers of this name came from Clitheroe to work the quarries at Elland Edge. Joseph, son of one of the four, born 1739, had a son John, born 1766, the father of the late Edward Aspinall, Esq., Southowram, the father of the Rev. G. E. Aspinall. The four brothers were named Cain, Abel, William and Savile. Abel, a descendant of one of the four, became associated with Bridge End Chapel. The following shows his descendants—

* I have before me a sketch of the life of Mrs. Hannah Burgess, by Mr. Crisp, read at her funeral sermon. She was born at Ilkestone, in Derbyshire, became servant to a Mrs. Wilson, attended the Independent Church there under the Rev. Mr. Galland, and became a member. She was afterwards Mr. Galland's servant nntil his removal to Holmfirth. Upon the death of Mrs. Galland, she became house-keeper for her former master, at Holmfirth, whose son, an Independent Minister at Greenacres, near Oldham, paid her a high encomium. She removed to Brighouse about 1803, having married as above.
