This family tree shows the connection between Meriel's family and the famous abolitionist Granville Sharp. Fanny Mary Smith is Meriel's Great Grandmother. Granville Sharp, and his family, are shown in the painting at the top of this post (the image is a link to the National Portrait Gallery where the picture is on display).
The town names mentioned in the family tree are all situated around Bradford in Yorkshire, as shown in this Google Map. Some more details about that branch of the Sharp family can be found in the book Rambles round Horton by William Cudworth (a description of the history and ancestry of the town of Horton near Bradford).
