nothing to add on customs, but I just had to mention (due to the Haworth picture) that my family (Waddingtons) comes from Haworth, so I wonder if those are some odd Waddington cousins galavanting about!

No Morrris dancers across the pond?
Only gentiles can be Morris dancers. (you have to be a complete p*ick to be a Morris dancer.)
Do you like the little bells that the men wear around their calves?

I've never heard of Morris Dancers before, as far as I know we've none across the pond. Do elaborate, E-man, for us unenlightened 'mericans! I feel a little dumb not knowing some of this!

First, congrats on being descended from folk in Haworth. The place is where all the Bronte sisters lived and grew up in. I've been there a few times myself.

Some of my ancestors are from Ripon and Harrogate. I thought the Bronte's were from that area. Or is it the same?
