Nice little market town. On the Leeds and Liverpool canal. I have been there by car, boat and bus. Nice friendly people. It is in Yorkshire to they eat well. You can get balm cakes. Lovely.
Not far from Settle where they have some interesting caves

It's a great market town in North Yorkshire with nice people and fantastic surrounding countryside.

It really is a very lovely place. We live around 30 miles away and visit it often. It's also the gateway to the Lake District.

...none of which has been of any help to you finding your roots, and unfortunately, neither am I BUT, as a tourist attraction, I note that so far nobody has mentioned the castle or the preserved railway. Both good to visit.
Best wishes in your search
