James Wrathall of Utah appears in the 1841 census in the hamlet of Bordley (then spelt Boardley). The details are brief but are as follows:

• John WRATHALL aged 35, occupation: Hind (farm-hand)
• Elizabeth aged 30
• *James* aged 12
• John aged 6
• Elizabeth aged 4
• Anne aged 1
• Mary aged 2 months

In the 1851 census there is more detail but James has moved on.

• John WRATHALL, head of household, farm labourer, aged 46, born - Burnsall
• Elizabeth, wife, aged 45, b. Leyburn
• Elizabeth, daughter, aged 14, b. Starbotton
• Mary, dau., aged 10, b. Bordley
• Robert, son, aged 8, b. Bordley
• Isabella, dau., aged 7, b. Bordley
• Jane, dau., aged 5, b. Bordley

Referring to the Michelin map , if one draws a line from the centre of Malham Tarn to Threshfield, Bordley is exactly halfway along that line. It is a very small hamlet at the end of a long cul-de-sac. The minor roads are not shown on the Michelin map.
