Hi Listers, I am trying to find an old street map for 89 Valley Street Windmill c. 1888. Is there any way I could find this online ? Thanks, Maureen in Oz

There is also the genmaps page on Rootsweb http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~genmaps/genfiles/COU_Pages/ENG_pages/yks.htm This site you have to pay to view old maps http://www.yourmapsonline.org.uk/yorkshire.htm Those are the only web sites I have on my list - sorry if they are no help Liz

Hi Maureen, Try http://www.old-maps.co.uk/ Click on the maps link at the top of the page, and then enter 415800 and 437700 in the coordinates boxes. Select the 3rd map - 1895 1:10, 560 If you use the zoom control on the left to zoom up to the next-to-maximum level, you will find Valley Street in the centre of the map. No way to identify the individual houses though. Hope this helps.

Hi Maureen, Have you tried contacting the West Yorkshire Archive Servive and asking them? They give ways to contact them on their site. http://www.archives.wyjs.org.uk/index.asp?pg=indexhome.htm There are also old maps here, put in Windmill in the search box and it comes up with a list - the only one I can find is Windmill Hill in West Yorkshire. Then you can click on "old map of Windmill Hill" and look at this map on line if your eyes are good enough! http://www.curiousfox.com/ Liz

Thank you for the link Roy. I actually contacted Neil yesterday when I could not find the index to which you referred. This line I am currently working on was only in Bradford for one generation, and I have a fair amount of information on them, particularly from newspaper obituaries as Benjamin Clark was a successful woolstapler and lived into his nineties, but I hoped that either the burial records or memorials might 'flesh it out' some more.

Janet, Thank you for the information and may I also say thank you to all of you that have undertaken this task of copying MIs. As someone who has has several relatives buried in Undercluffe cemetary but who is unable to get to Bradford very often, I look forward to the CD being available. Michael Thanks for the fhs link, I have not come across that one before, most useful. Roy, Thank you also, I take on board what you say about the difference between Burial records and Monumental Inscriptions. I am sure if we use both resources rather than just one we will get a large amount of information. If some of the information is similar then even better - I am always being told by people who have studied genealogy for years that the more sources you can find to confirm information the better.

Regards Janet > > Janet Ogden Project Officer for Bradford FHSoc., FreeCEN 1891 > Huddersfield & Saddleworth Also for FreeREG Yorkshire> Janet There appears to be some confusion here. MIs (Monumental Inscriptions on graves) are not the same thing as burial records, as we both know. I happen to know that the Friends of Undercliffe have approximately 125,000 records of burials at the cemetery because a cousin and I went looking for our ancestors' graves at Undercliffe some years ago - back in the 1990s, in fact. We actually met the then secretary of the Friends of Undercliffe in the cemetery and she asked us to phone her at home later. When we did and gave her the names of our ancestors, she gave us the full details of where the grave was, who was in it and even who had originally paid for it. As it happened, when we went back to search again we found the grave had disappeared, apparently sunk below the ground due to neglect, but at least we had the details from the records of burials. I have suggested to Margaret she contacts the Friends of Undercliffe because I KNOW they have the burial records. Not the same thing as MIs at all because many of the graves have disappeared or are no longer recognisable, therefore MIs may not help. But the actual records of who was buried and when and where do! -- Roy Stockdill Editor, Journal of One-Name Studies Guild of One-Name Studies website: www.one-name.org Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

Thank you Judith. That was exactly the information I needed. Looks like I shall have to be content with finding information from my ancestor graves in Undercliffe Cemetery for the time being. Pity, as the older graves are in Scholemoor Cemetery, and might have yielded some useful information, but £30+ on the off chance there might be something interesting is a bit steep.

They will, however, look at the card and tell you how MANY other people are buried in same grave so it isn't a matter of time.
