Hi there,

So glad I have found this! I think we are distantly related!

My great great great great grandfather was Henry Setterfield all the family orginate from Minster and is very extensive. From your research I can confirm that he had a sister, Jane Setterfield, who married E Johncock. What I did not realise however was that she maried again, J Barwick. Their daughter, Mary Cate married John Solly. My interest in Solly is because my father is Leonard Solly and I am trying to trace back his family tree. So, it seems that 2 sides of my family are actually related through Setterfield/Solly! Amazing coindicence!
I have lots of info about the Setterfield side of the family. I myself am local to the area and know Minster well and I actually live in the ST Lawrence area very near to the parish church!

Hope to hear from you!
