I've been able to prove my MOVERLEY line back to a marriage in the parish of Bramham in 1676. John MOVERLEY appears to have come in from elsewhere as there are no earlier references to the surname in the parish registers and he is not named in either the 1672 or 1674 Hearth Tax lists. The only other MOVERLEYs in evidence at this time were resident in the parish of Kellington about 15 miles to the south but I've yet to find anything that might link him to them. He remains an enigma.
