Hi Pat, I'd be most interested to learn more about the Tetley connection. I'm trying to develop a one-name study of the Tetley family, so I have collected quite lot of information already. There are already links to Parkinsons in there, and I'd be delighted to explore that connection (or any Tetley connection) further, with you.

Hello Robin, Thank you for a very positive and useful reply - I will beam off message to library - a little local knowledge is worth its weight in gold.!! I have a photo of his father's grave (Thomas Atley - died 1892) in Sheffield's City Road Cemetery and would happily travel to Bradford if I thought I might get same for William Oscar Atley's last resting place. Hence interest... Many thanks Glenda Atley Berkshire UK

Hello Glenda Since you know the precise date that your ggrandfather died I would suggest that you look for a death notice in a local newspaper, such as the Bradford Observer, which may well say where he was going to be buried. The Local Studies section of Bradford Central Library has the Bradford Observer on microfilm. Their website is http://www.bradford.gov.uk/council/libraries/central_page.html . If you asked them nicely by email at public.libraries@bradford.gov.uk they might look at the microfilm for you. If the death notice says where your ggrandfather was buried the Library staff should be able to tell you where to look for his burial record and a memorial inscription. I hope you find him.

Hi all, Death certificate for my ggrandfather indicates he died at 19 Derby Road in 1915. Can anyone hazard a guess as to where he might be buried please? Or suggest where I might look for burial records. Thanks for any help Glenda Berkshire (gloriously hot and sunny today).

Hi Everyone excerpt article from the Keighley News. www.keighleynews.co.uk/bradford__district/keighley/news/ The truth behind a famous hidden street is to be revealed. Bev Socas will be hosting a programme of talks into the history and curiosity of the Royal Arcade, Low Street, Keighley, The owner of High Spirits, based in the arcade said "There will be an introductory talk, about the stables, bake house and seven hidden shops beneath the arcade We are all hoping funding will be found to open the mysterious Keighley hidden street late next year. It is something very strange & special, so we hope a lot of people who are interested will come for the tours. Visotrs will be unable to see the "underground street" and shops discovered when regeneration work was underway, because of health and safety reasons. But much of the history including photographs will be uncovered. Some of the history still remain a secret, and Bev hopes people with further information will continue to come forward. The new arcade will open its doors to the public at the end of this month, when a new shopping precinct opens. Warmest Wishes Jan in Bronte Country List admin ENG-YKS-Bradford.

G'day Everyone, I would just like thank Judy and Tom Lundeen, Jan Perkins Jennifer Penner and Wendy for the help with Illingworths' and Mitchells'. I took Judy and Tom's advice and looked up the information on an extraordinary man called Sir Isaac Holden..grandfather to Marion Illingworth Mitchell nee Illingworth... The information can been seen by searching on google and checking out what it listed...Isaac Holden+Oakworth Included in the material from 1873 - 1876 was a letter written to Sir Isaac Holden from his grand daughter Marion Illingworth in Lucerne, Switzerland prior to her marriage in 1881 to Tom Mitchell... The quote below is from the Bradford University page where I found a catalogue of what material was handed over. "Sir Isaac Holden (1807-1897) was an important Bradford wool manufacturer, who also built wool combing mills in France. He later developed an interest in politics, and was Liberal MP for Knaresborough from 1865-68. In 1971 the Library, now the J.B. Priestley Library, was given a collection of personal correspondence and papers relating to Holden and his family. These materials, which date from the 1840s to the 1890s, offer considerable insights for researchers into social themes, politics and the technical aspects of the wool industry." What a full life he lead.. Kind regards Lori Mitchell

Hi listers Is anyone going to the Bradford archives or the Bradford Library Local Studies facility in the near future. If so would it be possible to lookup two specific entries on the Haworth Parish Church Marriage Registers? I have the basic information from the Indexes created by Steven Wood, but would like to know if the Microfiche gives any further detail - such as Occupation, parents names or locations The marriage was 10th November 1806 between John Earnshaw and Sally Hartley - all I know is that both are described "of this parish". The christening was 15 October 1810 of John Earnshaw (aged 22 weeks), son of John and Sally Earnshaw The reason for asking is that the younger John is my ggg grandfather and I believe that John and Sally who married in 1806 are therefore my gggg grandparents, but there is another marriage at Bradford Cathedral that almost fits (1 month earlier). The occupations would almost certainly clinche it as the Bradford Cathedral marriage entry is for a John who was a cotton spinner, yet the next generations were all in wool/worsted weaving I'd be very grateful if this was possible sometime Jack Earnshaw in Berkshire

Hi Mal, Sorry,I forgot to tell you that John PARKER who d.in 1863 was aged 76. Cheers [again]-----Derek.

Hi Mal, I found the following on the Bradford Observer card-index at the library,this afternoon,and wondered if he was yours. 'John PARKER of Windhill Crag,cloth manufacturer.Death 7.5.1863. I looked this up on the relevent B.O.microfilm---Thursday May 7th.1863 The only addition to the card index info was that he died 'on Sunday week'!!!! [What on earth does that mean ?] Cheers-------Derek.

Hi Derek I'm fairly sure that it means the previous Sunday. It's many years since I last heard my grand parents using the expression. Another expression was 'a week a Sundy', that meant the Sunday after next, or if it was Sunday, it would have been 'in a fotnit'.

Jan I totally agree. The detective work is what makes this hobby so enjoyable for me. With a name like Earnshaw, I have had to be very flexible as to the searches I do, especially with the "transcribed" census facilities such as the 1881 disks and the 1901 web site. It took me three months to find my grandfather on the 1901 census - and then only when I discovered that he had another sister who had an easier first name. The family were listed as Hernshaw. My grandfather, Verdi Lindley Earnshaw was given the first names of Nerdi Ling and his father was named Homan instead of his correct name Heman. At the moment I am still trying to piece together whether two Earnshaw's in Denholme are actually one and the same. One was baptised William John and was buried with that name. His wife was Mary Ann something. But the only records I can find to match in anyway are for John Earnshaw who married Mary Ann Foster. Hopefully when the certificates arrive next week I will get the answer. If they aren't the same person, then I am left with two questions - where did William John go to between christening and death and secondly where did John come from. Obviously one reason for me asking the question was to see if there was a possible match with the Farrer family - as faced with about 30 possible John Farrar's baptised within a small radius of Denholme is quite a task to sort out from afar - My John Farrar would probably have been born around 1790 ish and probably married around 1808-1810. My first trip to Bradford, a couple of weeks ago was centred around the Earnshaw name, but now I have enough further questions and names to last for months - if only all churches had the indexed registers that have been created recently for Haworth parish church!
