Hi Tim.
I know it can be hard to find the right info.
But if I can find the parish in that area it would be great.
I am still searching the info.
My 4th great grandmother left a diary about her family, and it is so hard to
find.

It sounds as if you are following my grandfather's method of doing
genealogy. He left behind him loads of family trees connecting our
forbears to loads of other families. Nearly all of it was right, though
there were a few errors. But the problem was that he nowhere said where
he had found any of the information, so for every person I had to find
some records and enter up what the publicly available source was.

Might I suggest that most internet sites have the same problem: they do
not tell you where you can verify their information - so they should not
be used as your quoted source.

I have used Legacy in the past and it has good source recording
facilities, so can I advise that you save your descendants a job by
entering the public source where you found each person?

No, I have no Harley at all in my database. Leo van de Pas has loads of
them in his database:
