I have an original copy of this family
Will. With the great assistance of this website and its contributors
and transcribers I am actively engaged in collating all relevant
information on my lineage of the RAISTRICK family, whose main abode
was in Idle.
All RAISTRICKS derive from RASTRICK, a village near
Brighouse in the old West Riding of Yorkshire. The earliest reference
so far to a RASTRICKE living in RASTRICK was in the 1270's. Any
help and assistance I can give or receive from any other RAISTRICKS
will be welcome |
