Good morning, If anyone can help with a look up for me, I am trying to find birth details of a John Hollings b 1796 in Yorkshire, I think Bradford. He married Nancy Mitchell on 25 Feb 1818 in Bradford. Appreciate any help at all Thanks Jenny

Good morning list, Can anyone help me as far as a listing for marriages for Bradford, Yorkshire for approx 1840 onwards that is on the internet rather than LDS films? I would say the Bradford Parish Church or Horton Independent Church would be my options. Is there a name that can do look ups for me? Thanks Jenny

I'm not with it at all - I'm getting blackburn and Bradford confused (how?). Request should have gone to Lancashire list as it concerns Blackburn NOT Bradford. Tigger, Warrington

Hi, Could SKS with access to either the 1861 or 1871 census returns for Bradford have a look for the following please: Susannah LEEMING (no other details known, she married William Henry SANGER in 1872 and died in 1874 but I have yet to get copy certificates) Ellen LEEMING born abut 1856 in Bradford, (also married William Henry SANGER, 1876) father was John LEEMING (carter, deceased by 1876) William had at least one child with Susannah and at least five (one being my connection) with Ellen. William was born in Oswaldtwistle but is an Iron fiter in Smithies Street Bradford in 1873 Many thanks, Tigger, Warrington

Hi Jenny, Though Yorkshire BMD's only have births from 1837-1842 for Bradford listed I am sure they will have marriages pretty soon, so the URL is worth keeping. http://www.yorkshirebmd.org.uk/update.html The IGI looks to only go as far as 1837........as does my index (L-P) for the Parish Church. The actual films from the LDS have marriages to 1836 only. Maybe SKS would let you know what material (if any) is available at the actual archives in Bradford. Kindest regards. Elaine Pickard.

Please can someone tell me if Thomas and Mary Haigh were living at 20 Manor Row, Bradford West in 1871, and if Mary was still there in 1881. Many thanks Margaret

Hi Jenny and Elaine As a rough guide for Bradford, the records for churches/chapels up to about 1837 are on film in the Central Library and after that date are on fiche/film at the Bradford Archives on Canal Road. For St Peters, the parish church, at the beginning of some of the years is a handwritten index for the years entries. Some of the records were held at Wakefield and Leeds, but I am reasonably certain that they have been reorganised so that the records (or copies) for a particular area are held in that localities archives. Anybody wishing to visit the archives has to make an appointment, and if you are travelling any distance to visit the Central Library try and book a viewer beforehand, because it can get very busy.

This afternoon I have been looking at the Name Index to Bradford Parish Church Burials 1681 to 1837 produced by the Bradford Family History Society. Any comments written in the margins or as footnotes have been reproduced in square brackets as they were written. Three of the entries are as follows: AIRTON, Mary Ann, 21m, D of Richard, [P.H.] : L. Horton. Jan 14 1830 AIRTON, Richard, 63y [P.H.] : L. Horton. Jan 13 1830 AIRTON, William Smith, 2y, S of William [M.O.] : Bradford. Dec 01 1821 I can only think of Poor House for P.H. and Military Officer for M.O. - or does anyone have a better suggestion?

It is by no means common, but there are a number of hostelries of the name scattered around the country. I suspect, therefore, there may once have been an inn of this name in the area, after which the general area became generically known to the locals. Just like surnames, place names were by no means standardised or sacrosanct in previous centuries. In many towns, for instance, a particular yard or street became known by the name of the person who built the houses, or a prominent business person who lived there - as in Smith's Yard, for example. Local councils, if they existed at all, did not observe strict control over names as they do today.

At the time of the 1841 and 1851 censuses (and possibly later), there was a road or area of Thornton called 'Who Could Have Thought It'. Does anyone know where this very unusual name originated? On a death certificate issued in 1843 it was abbreviated to 'Thought It'.

Hello to members of this list. I am trying to find members of my husband's family who lived in Little Horton/Bradford. His great, great, great grandfather, Joseph DENTON was christened at Bradford on 7 July 1805 and died on 13 November 1848 at 13 Copper Street, Halifax. He married Maria PATCHETT on the 5 January 1835 at Bradford. Joseph's father was John DENTON of Little Horton, Weaver by trade [from Christening register]. Following Joseph's death, Maria remarried a John BROOK in 1849, in Halifax and John & Maria emigrated to Australia with five children bearing the DENTON surname, namely William Patchett DENTON, Ann Maria DENTON, Elizabeth DENTON, George DENTON and Richard DENTON along with one or more children bearing the BROOK surname. I would be very grateful for any information that you are able to give, e.g. John's wife's name, which I haven't been able to find, here in Australia. Thank you for reading this and hopefully I will be able to exchange information with one or more of the list members. Christine Denton.

Hi all, I have just joined this list. I am researching EDMUND PECKOVER and HANNAH MARIA HAGGITT in Yorkshire who married in 1717. I am curious to see if there is a connection between my PECKOVER family and Bradford. When I search for Peckover I invariably get references to Peckover St in Bradford where it would seem there is a Methodist Church. It catches my eye as I am a Methodist and my Peckover ancestors were Quakers. Hoping someone knows the history of the naming of the street. Regards Glenda in New Zealand
