Any and all information about Diana's family would be appreciated, particularly those individuals beyond Humphrey Brailsford.

The birth date is a guess, based on her being married about 1789.
13 Mar 2003: received an email from a relative in New Zealand who says that there are quite a few more children for this couple. She descends from Hannah, and another relative she knows of descends from one of the sons, though I do not know which one yet....

One who came from Wetheral (enclosure where sheep were kept), in Cumberland: dweller near an enclosure where sheep were kept. Dictionary of American Family Names by Elson C. Smith
The Wetherell family are the ancestors of my partner, Steve, and our daughter Emma
Much of the information on the Wetherell family has been provided by Sarah Fox, nee Wetherell, Pat Thurston and Jonathan May, who are all descendents of Bartholomew Wetherell.
Bartholomew Wetherell 1778 - 1854
Born c 1778 in Osmotherley, North Yorkshire. Parish Registers for Osmotherley show the baptism on 23 August 1778 of Bartholomew son of Christopher and Rebekah Wetherell. (Christopher Weatherill + Rebecca Wright were married by Banns at Osmotherley on 23rd July 1770 in the presence of John Bullwood and Elizabeth Garbutt. John Bullwood appears to have witnessed the next 2 marriages in the Parish Register also)
Bartholomew worked as a stonemason + farmer.Osmotherley, Yorkshire.
Married Ann Sellar on the 26th of November 1798 at Kirby Misperton, North Yorkshire, in the presence of William Sellar and William Borton.

Bartholomew died on the 5th of May 1854 aged 76 years. His profession was given as labourer and Susanne Phillips was present at the death. No cause of death was given. The National Burial Index shows Bartholomew Wetherell, aged 76, buried on the 8th of May 1854 at All Saints Church, Skelton in Cleveland.
William was 43 years old when he died.
Henry was 38 years old when he died.
Jack once made two dresses for his daughters because his wife could not be bothered to do them herself! Annie was lazy and always faking illness to get out of doing the household chores.
Annie and my Great Grandad John Henry Bell were cousins!!. This should make it quite easy to find out her parents.
Below is a possible father for Annie, namely John Pickersgill, though if so, I do not as yet know who Leonards parents were. They would have to link in with my direct line.
I have found Leonard's Christneing: 28 May 1837 at Carloton Minniot, Yorkshire, England.
His Father is Michael Pickersgill, and his Mother is called Mary Edson. They were married at Easingwold on the 23 Nov 1831.This puts Michael's birth about 1810 or so, and I have a Michael Pickersgill born 1808 in Burneston!
I just need to find out which of Leonard's sons was the Father of Annie.
