Main source(s):
(1) Skaife Family records. This refers mainly to a pedigree produced by John Denis Skaife d'Ingerthorpe (1912-1995) which identified the following as his main sources:
1.
"Nidderdale", an historical, topographical and descriptive sketch of the Valley of the Nidd by William Grange, published by Thomas Thorpe, London, in 1863
2. "Studies in Nidderdale" by Jos. Lucas. Published by Elliot Stock, London, in 1879
3. "Nidderdale" by Harry Speight. Published by Elliot Stock, London, 1906

Note. References above to "of Braisty Woods" and such could be viewed as slightly confusing because Braisty Woods is an area/village in Yorkshire, about 3 miles south-east of Pateley Bridge, which appears to have contained several farms as well as normal houses. Although present-day maps show "Low Lathe" as separate from Braisty Woods, "Low Laith" (presumably the same place) seems also to have sometimes been referred to as "in Braisty Woods".
