The places of birth of those in this grouping has shifted over time, first in mid-Victorian times from Halifax to Bradford and then, in the 1920s and 1930s, the members began to disperse with some going south. Currently there are representatives of this grouping in various parts of England with Lancashire having a strong presence. One sub-group has remained in Bradford, while the youngest member of the grouping was born in the London area.
