Helo Does anyone know if either the Burial Register or the Headstones at Wyke Moravian Chapel have been transcribed? Many thanks. Kind regards Judith K

Hi Liz Am I misunderstanding the map on the website you gave? Is the red balloon blob supposed to be where the pub is because where this blob is, it is not Great Horton Road which is the address given at the top of the page. Not picking on you, but the map. Perhaps I am having a senior moment!!

It is a dog-legged road which ran between Hollingwood Lane and Great Horton Road (which was called High Street on my map). I'm fairly certain that it's the same as Holly Bank Road, Great Horton on a modern map. Unfortunately it's nowhere near Liz's George and Dragon at the top of Cemetery Road. -- Dave

Sorry - I should have said before. I have found so many street names have changed in Bradford during my searches that the George and Dragon that is in Great Horton may be the pub you are looking for. Have you tried Bradford library as they have old maps and may be able to help you.

Hello Susanne, Thank you for the list of offspring and your suggestions. I should have mentioned that I had seen the IGI entries. William was married before 1837 so his marriage entry in Bradford parish records, which I have found, does not show any parents. It appears that young Nathan b. 1827 was living with him in 1841 so he appears to be a brother. The thing is until I find an actual record about William, I can't assume that Nancy is his mother. There is a marriage in the IGI for Nathan Halliday and Ann Hudson Sept 24, 1805 in Otley. Is this Ann Hudson aka Nancy? Would Otley also be considered Bradford? The marriage for Nathan Halliday and Sarah Rushforth in 1806 could be a second one if Ann Hudson died. Then were did Nancy come from? Or we are dealing with two Nathan Hallidays. You see why I'm confused? It seems too iffy to just grab Nancy as William's mother. This is why a baptismal record for William himself would be important to find. Even then it might not state the mother's name. I was hoping that listers who live near Bradford might have access to more or other records than those indexed in the IGI. Sorry to be fussy. I may just have to come to Bradford myself one day. Thanks for the help. Kind regards, Stephanie > Is this the marriage you are looking for?

You are correct of course. Apologies. I meant to say that she was born between 1781 and 1785 Martha RUSHWORTH/RUSHFORTH was married to Thomas BREAR in Bradford in 1810.

Help! Martha RUSHWORTH/RUSHFORTH was married to Thomas BREAR in Bradford in 1810. She died in Manningham in 1864, age given as 83, but her age on the 1851 and 1861 census suggested a birthdate of 1885, so she was probably born between 1881 and 1885. Her birthplace on the census was given as Bradford and Manningham. I am 99% sure that she was the daughter of William RUSHWORTH and Susanna WILD who married in Bradford in 1779. Susanna was then a widow. However I have never been able to find MARTHA'S birth to prove the connection. Please can anyone help? Regards Margaret Switzerland

Hello List, Thanks to Roy and Jill for the suggestions on tracing the antique spoon. I'm working on them. I have been searching for the baptismal record of WILLIAM HALLIDAY, my 3G grandfather on various microfilm from the LDS for about a year and a half and have come up empty handed. All the census records, 1841-1871, indicate that he was born in Bradford. His birth date is on a page from an old family bible as December 21, 1814. I found his sister Mary Ann HARKER (nee Halliday) born approx. 1825 in the 1851 census and her marriage registration gives their father's name as Nathan HALLIDAY. Can anyone give me some help finding William's baptism? I'm trying to determine his mother's name. Thanks and kind regards, Stephanie Lever (researching Halliday, Sutcliffe, Hemingway)

Just to put some meat on Roy's request for detail - there were 65 people with the surname FORREST said by the 1881 census index on Ancestry's web-site to be living in Bradford. I didn't look at those in the UK said to be born in Bradford. I suspect that looking at the other on-line indices of the UK censuses would add many hundreds more. If you let us know whose line you're interested in, at what time and what you've done so far, we may be able to help. Personally, I haven't the time to do a complete run down of the FORREST name living in, or born in, Bradford since 1837. However, I'm very willing to handle a smaller enquiry.

A slight exaggeration on my part, but this is to give you the idea. Also don't just post WHO you are interested in but WHAT you have done so far yourself. For instance, you may get people posting that they have Forrests in the 1881 and 1891 censuses and you may post messages in reply, saying "Oh, I've done all that", thus wasting everyone's time!

You must be more specific if you wamt serious help. Just to ask if anyone is researching a surname is far too vague. As I explained earlier, you may be flooded with replies, many of which may have no relevance at all. They simply over-load the list and waste bandwidth and downloading time. To re-iterate..... Say WHICH Forrest family you are interested in, i.e. something like "Is anyone researching the ancestry and descendants of MARMADUKE FORREST, sagger-maker's bottom knocker, of Great Horton, Bradford, and his wife, Maisie, nee SNODGRASS, who had 17 children between 1860 and 1885?" A slight exaggeration on my part, but this is to give you the idea. Also don't just post WHO you are interested in but WHAT you have done so far yourself. For instance, you may get people posting that they have Forrests in the 1881 and 1891 censuses and you may post messages in reply, saying "Oh, I've done all that", thus wasting everyone's time! Be precise about who you're looking for and what you've already done.
