Hi , Does Bowling Cemetery still exist..? Any way I can search an index on the internet..? Anyone live near Bowling Cemetery...? If they did could take a walk and see if they can find the grave of Abraham Mitchell and his wife may be... Kind regards Lori Mitchell

Hi Everyone, I would like to thank Peter Wood for the Funeral Notice of Abraham Mitchell without him it would not have been posible. He photocopied it and posted the report by mail to me here in Australia.. Thank you and I hope it helps a few others in their quest.. Kind regards Lori Mitchell

Hi Everyone, Hope there were several who were able to find a missing relative or two from that huge list of attendees at the funeral of Abraham Mitchell... I don't remember typing any Barraclough's a bit disappointing. But the Illingworth devotees must have their derrieres up and their heads down wondering who is conected to who. If anyone has any connections to the deceased I would be only too pleased to hear from you... I think Abrham Mitchell's wife was Elizabeth Sutcliffe daughter of William and Maria and will know in a couple of weeks if my good and trusted friend Derek is able to obtain the marriage certificate for me... Thomas Mitchell chr 1787 was the father of Abraham Mitchell chr 1825 and I think his mum was Lydia... He lived as a boy at Bennett Fields. Thomas was the original partner in the Mitchell Bos along with his brothers Francis (Frank) Chr 1779 and John ( Johnny) 1785. Abraham was the 6th child born out of 10 children in total. Abraham's youngest brother Joseph married Pheobe Sutcliffe. The other siblings were Ann chr 1812 , Elizabeth chr 1815, Joshua chr 1818, John 1821, Sarah chr 1823, then it was Abraham chr 1825, - 1896, Martha 1829, Mary 1829, Joseph 1831, Lydia 1834. Kind regards Lori Mitchell

Hi Everyone Still trying to get to grips with the new ISP and e-mailing system, probably be so much easier, once I get to grips with it................. This is a brilliant site, I obviously have not checked it out to it's full potential, because I have jusr found an old picture on the site of the Church some of my family were married at St Peter's on South Street, demolished in the 1950's, I never thought I would be lucky enough to find a picture of it.........BUT lo and behold there are lots of lovely forgotten places on this site, plus as it is now.................. http://www.keighleyweb.co.uk/ Enjoy Jan in Bronte Country

I would be very grateful if someone could look up my great grandmother on the 1851 Census. Her birth cert, dated 1850, gives her name as ANN GANNON, born at NELSON COURT, HORTON, BRADFORD. Her parents are JOHN and BRIDGET GANNON. I suspect there's an Irish connection, so I'm particularly interested in where her parents were born. Thank you very much, Dorothy Smart Altrincham Cheshire

Hi Everyone, Hundreds attended the Furneral of this man and many names of the attendees are metioned. So if you want to know what your rellie was doing on 24th August 1896 you might now find out. This is a copy of what was writtne in regard to the funeral of : Abraham Mitchell. The Bradford Observer, Tuesday August 25 1896 Funeral of Mr. Abraham Mitchell The remains of the late Mr Abraham Mitchell of Bowling Park, Bradford, were interred yesterday at Bowling Cemetery. The furneral was of a simple character but was very numerously attended. At eleven o'clock service was conducted at the house by the Rev. J T F. Halligey, superintendent of the Kirkgate Wesleyan Circuit, and the Rev. R Keenleyside, one of his collegues. The hymns sung were "Lead kindly light"and "Peace perfect peace". During the course of a short address Mr. Halligey said that through the door of death singly and at uncertain intervals, and it was incumbent upon us more diligently to culivate helpful and sympathetic friendship which should minister to our comfort when the fatal hour came. That day the mystery and pain of death were present. They did not exist in the region beyond ; they abided with those who were left behind. The departed was in the realm of unclouded day and everlasting peace, Mr Halligey continued ; By what method of induction do we reach a conclusion so definite an so satisfactory ? How did he die - I refer not to the particular circumstances of suddeness with shich the summons came- but what was his character, his relation to God when he died ?. The only way to answer that question is to ask, " How did he live?". Died he as a fool dieth- that was , lived he as a fool liveth?. Most decidedly not . The fool hath said in his heart, "There is not God". Mr Mitchell had the profoundest belief in God- the God who created and upholds all things by the word of His power. He was a great lover nature. Some present will never forget last Whit Monday, when he spoke with eager speech and glowing heart of Devine power and wisdom and goodness, holding in his hand a blade of grass, a text by which he sought to lead from nature up to nature's God. In the word of God in was also deeply interested. He was keenly perplexed, as who of us has not been, when he came to some of the more difficult and obscure passages of Holy Writ - small credit to the man who can read his Bible without being perplexed !. Who by searching has found out God?. Said an old devine, " I would not worship a god that I could comprehend". But whatever difficulties he met in the perusal of the sacred pages, he revently accepted their teaching as the law of salvation for life on earth.For anything that was underhand, inconsistant, and unworthy he had a lofty scorn, but for all that was honest and of good report he had an active and tender sympathy. For some time past his most intimate friends have observed a gentle mellowing of his character, and though he naturally wished to abide here a little longer with his family, the fear of death did not hold him in bondage. Only a few days ago he observed, "I am not afraid to die". But why in this case do we use the word death at all ? There is no death to the Christian. To him death is the escapeof the soul from its clayey tenement- is the entrance into more abundant life. The cortege was subsquently formed in front of the house. It was headed by a body of thirty policemen of the Bardford Borough Force, under Inspector RAWLINS, after which walked several hundreds of workpeople employed by Messrs Mitchell Bros. Next came the Mayor and a number of magistrates, immediately preceding the hearse, which was followed by the mourning coaches and a long procession of private carriages. The mourning coaches were occupied as follows :- First carriage Mrs Abraham Mitchell, Mr Herbert Mitchell, Miss Annie Mitchell: Second carriage , Miss Edith Mitchell, Miss Sylvia Mitchell, and Master George Mitchell: Third carriage, Mrs John Cordingley, Mr John James Cordingley, Mrs John Jennings, and Mrs S. Ackroyd Fourth carriage, Mr and Mrs RUFUS Mitchell, Miss Carine Mitchell, and Miss Josephine Mitchell. Fifth carriage, Mr and Mrs Albert Mitchell and Mrs Joseph Mitchell Sixth carriage, Mr and Mrs William Foster, Seventh carriage, Mr and Mrs Harry Mitchell and Mr Richard Moore Eighth carriage, Mr and Mrs T. W. Westnerhead and Mr and Mrs William Sutcliffe. Nineth carriage, Mr and Mrs William Sutcliffe (Odsal); Tenth carriage, Mr and Mrs Alfred Illingworth and Sir Isaac Holden Eleventh carriage Have to leave it there, be back tomorrow with the rest and there are many more names believe me.... Kind regards Lori Mitchell

HI List Know this is not the Wakefield List...................BUT wonder if someone could perhaps help a friend of mine........ "Maybe you could help me ... if you don't mind :)) I'm trying to track down some details of a William Briggs father of Thomas Pilkington Briggs my gg grandfather. Will was born around 1810 and I am presuming, just for the moment that he was born in Wakefield as so far everybody else has been ... I know this is a bit of a dangerous assumption but you've got to start somewhere and the 1841 census doesn't state where he was born ... not even whether it was the same county (which wouldn't help much 'cause the West Riding was a pretty big place). this is just typical of my family!! The IGI has a listing for a William Briggs born 1808 in Thorner ... was there an actual place called Thorner or is it possibly an error and should be Thornes ie part of Wakefield? There is another listing for a Will in 1810 in Wakefield but it is in the Salem Chapel George Street, and I don't have any other evidence to say they frequented this type of church as the boys were christened in I believe! the ordinary CofE church. Do any of your friends have a copy of the 1851 census that would be willing to look up Will and family (Mary, wife and Thomas, Robert and William) for me and be able to tell me where he and his wife Mary were born. On the 1841 census he was living in Thornes just down the road from Gregory's Row (I think but the CD image is very faint and hard to make out)." Warmest Wishes Jan in Bronte Country. Co List Admin

I spent a bit of time a couple of days ago looking at LDS film number 908076 which is a grab bag of bits & pieces with Item 7 calling itself - Parish register extracts, 1736-1800 Church of England. Parish Church of Bradford (Yorkshire) (Main Author) Contains christenings, marriages, and burials, 1736-1800. England, York, Bradford - Church records What it actually is, is a typewritten list of christenings, marriages & burials for WALKERs. Hundreds of entries were listed. It looked as though the original list had been typed well before the filming in 1972. It was very faint in parts. Absolutely useless as far as my search for ACKROYDs & FEARNLEYs is concerned but it may help someone. Rosemary Ackroyd
