Tally/Talley St. James Cemetery, Kingsessing, Pennsylvania, Deed 4, Lot B <i>Birth: </i>Henry Whiteley was born on 7 May 1832 at Greenowlers, Yorkshire, AKA Green Alders. Owler is a dialect pronunciation of alder. This was one of the buildings compulsorily acquired when the nearby reservoir was built and the surrounding area cleared of population. I remember it as a ruinous abandoned building but its now demolished. I'm told it was one of the houses that my grandfather (& Dearnley descendant grandmother) considered moving to when he retired in 1930. <i>- Ian Goddard. </i>
