Don't bother. It's a rip off. If you don't have a reasonably accurate idea of when the birth was REGISTERED, then you may spend a lot of money searching as the site doesn't give returns on specific names but parts of the register. If you search eg knowles born (registered) 1st quarter of 1840 to last quarter 1841, then you are presented with almost 500 pages which need looking at. You then have to guess which pages might contain the name you are looking for, but as they are presented in quarters, you will have to look at each quarter. If you buy ?5 unit (55 hits), you may well use this up before you find the name. When you DO find the name, all you will get is the GRO reference, so you will NOT find a birth (or death or marriage) date via this route, but will need to order the certificate. Now I know that is the normal course of doing things, but this is very time consuming and expensive. Personally, I'll stick to Free BMD for anything prior to 1902 and only use this for later events which my relatives cannot help with.

Dear Listers, After the stunning help I received for my Ripon Street enquiry, this follows on............. Great grandma died in 1901, and now I'd like to find her grave. The family attended the Wesleyan chapel on the corner of Otley Road - can someone tell me if there is a graveyard there? And if so is there a way I can find burial records from this distance? The other alternative is the Undercliff cemetery just across the road - again, is there a reference place for their records? Regards, Knola, New Zealand

Would SKS please lookup for me in the 1860 census a Goodwin family that lived at 48 Brooklyn St.,Bradford(east). they had a daughter named Kate. Thanks in advance. Robin

Not sure if this has been posted, with all the Rootsweb problems . Apologies if you have already received it. Could I request someone to check the 1861 census for me to see if there is an Alice KING listed. She would be about 70, and might have been living in a household headed by Benjamin CLARK. I sent off for a death certificate, convinced I had found her death in 1857, but this Alice KING was not mine. So if anyone is looking for the Bradford death of an Alice KING age 55, wife of John, a carpet weaver, I shall be happy to send them the certificate! Margaret

Hi Listers, Can someone please pinpoint an address for me? My g-grandmother died in 1901 at Ripon Street, in the sub-district of East Bradford. It doesn't feature on a detailed modern street map, and I'm hoping someone with local knowledge can tell me if it still exists, or is re-named or has been run over by a highway. Regards, Knola Jeffery, New Zealand.

Hi List, It seems that we are up and running again.......I hope. For those of you that believe that you may have been unsubscribed this is where you start checking. Unless you have received notification that you have been unsubscribed, then you are still on the list and "should" receive this message. For those of you that have been trying to make contact..... now that the Bradford Tools List is once again there for me to see who is on the list I will endeavour to see what the problem is. I believe that one of the problems is that people are trying to post when NO mail at all was getting through. Another problem is subscribing with one address and trying to post with another. You have to post with the address you have subscribed with. The information that is sent out to you all when you subscribe should be kept.

G'day Listers, I would like to know if this place or address still exists on the 1881 census. The address or place is Burnett Field and have included the 1841 and 1851 census which denotes this address. I am hoping find maybe one of his descendants living there... 1841 Census Bowling District. Address : Lower Burnet Field. THOMAS Mitchell 50 Head Widow Occup.

Thomas had a large family and it was three of his sons, Joshua, Abraham and Joseph, who carried on the business as Mitchell Brothers, one of the largest manufacturers of mohair cloths. The family, who attended Annesley Chapel in Little Horton Lane, all lived in Burnett Fields, but in 1864 Abraham and Joseph built two large houses called The Parks in Rooley Lane. This chapel didn't perform baptisms or marriages as they used Bradford P.C. Kind regards Lori Mitchell

Hello Looks like the Bradford list is up and running again. Many thanks to the list owner. I sent this message just before the server went down and didn't see it appear so here goes again. I have just received the Marriage Certificate [after many years of searching] for my 2xgt grandparents. If anyone is going to Bradford Library could I please ask for a look up on the 1851 Census cards. I will be forever grateful. I only have names as the address on the marriage certificate [1852] just said Bradford. The names are:- James HAINSWORTH who should - hopefully - be living with his father William HAINSWORTH & family. James would be about 27 years. James was a comber - William was a labourer. Hannah WATMOUGH/Watmuff daughter of Joshua WATMOUGH/WATMUFF, she would be about 22 years. As Hannah was a servant she may not be with her family. Joshua was a comber. Any help much appreciated. Thank you. Kind regards Judith Kettlewell

Looking for any info on THOMAS SAVILLE(Savile) and AMELIA PRIESTLEY who married on Dec 25 1814 in Bradford Thanks Nora UK

Hello ! I wonder if SKS with the 1851 for Bradford could help by looking up Piece No. 2304, ED 4, Sch 99, (Palm Field, Wibsey), to check the place of birth for Mary Petty - wife of George. I've tried the film in Bfd Reference Library but its scratched and impossible to read. Thanks in anticipation. Barry Ibbetson

If the Bradford net is back up, you should all get this. My dilemma is Minnie (born in 1864 in Bradford, the second oldest daughter of my grt. grandfather RICHARD COCKROFT.  I received  a very black copy of the Yorkshire Daily Observer from the Bradford Library and it looks like the marriage of this 2nd daughter was named Rose. Could someone in Bradford (when you go to the library) look this marriage up for me?  It is from the newspaper of 18-9-1906, pg. 8 Marriages.  LISTER married COCKCROFT (with another C)  It says she is the second daughter of Mr. C COCKCROFT of Richmond Rd. My grt. grandfather's house was at 17 Richmond Rd. but his name was Richard.  He did not have a brother named Charles. The mystery deepens. Diane in California

Hi list & Judy, Thanks for the vote of confidence but I am afraid as with so many of these glitches we have had over the first two months of the list, the problem is with Rootsweb. This last one was because of the # 2 Server going walk about...or trying. So bear with it over the next few days as I feel its still not quite fixed. Missed you allllllll. Regards. Elaine Pickard.
