Hi,My father was JACK Whiteley (b.1919 Ripponden, d.1977 Leicester).Tracing the appropriate line further back, we come to his father: WALTER (b.1887 Ripponden, d.1940 Halifax) and grandfather: THOMAS (b.1841 Soyland, d.1914 Ripponden).
Now to the part which interests me greatly and coincides with your inquiry.On 21 Mar 1875, THOMAS married ELIZABETH WHIPP (b.12 Jul 1851 Ripponden?, d.1937 Ripponden).ELIZABETH WHIPP (taking her mother's name) was the illegitimate daughter of ELLEN WHIPP (b. Dec 1833 Soyland, d. ? after 1863).
ELLEN WHIPP's father was WILLIAM WHIPP (b. about 1810-15, d. between 1847 & 1851, & married Hannah Shaw in ELLAND on 8 Apr 1833).
So:
Q: Was WILLIAM WHIPP related to your FANNY WHIPP - nephew, perhaps?(NB WILLIAM had another daughter, called FANNY, b. c. 1837, probably also born in Soyland)(My main question here is who ELZABETH WHIPP's father was, of course, but I may never discover that.)
To return to the WHITELEY side, THOMAS's great grandfather was SAMUEL (b. 1745 Barkisland, d. 1783 Ripponden). SAMUEL married SUSAN HOLROYD on 26 Aug 1776 in ELLAND, and their last child was ELI (bapt. 26 Jan 1783).Eli was a very common name - but there is a chance that this could be your ELI.

Best wishes,
John Scott Whiteley
