The following comprise those people and organisations to which www.yorkshirehistory.com is very gratefully indebted for their generous (on the whole) and freely given (mainly) help and assistance. It is likely I have omitted some by mistake, and to those I offer my most profound apologies. In most cases the below have supplied more than a single insight into these events, more detailed references can be located within the text at the appropriate places. I must however begin with Melissa Ryan, without whose support and cooperation none of the latest updates and insights could have been included – Thanks Melissa!!
