Hello Firth researchers I recently received the death certificate of John Holdsworth, my 3 x great grandfather, who died in Bradford in 1866. Present at his death was a Hannah Firth and through searching records I have managed to establish to my satisfaction that this was his eldest child and my 2nd great grand aunt. The fact that she had a child called Joseph Beecroft Holdsworth Firth really clinched things. Through searching the BMD I believe Hannah married James Firth in the 3rd quarter of 1842 in Bradford. There is also a record of what I believe to be their marriage in the IGI, this marriage took place on 31 Jul 1842 in Calverley and the record also says that the father of James Firth was a Michael Firth. I can find no eveidence to support this fact at present. According to census records James Firth was born circa 1818 in Windhill Idle Bradford and had the following children John Firth born circa 1844 in Idle Mary Ann Firth born circa 1847 in Idle Elizabeth Firth born circa 1849 in Idle Sarah Ann Firth born circa 1852 in Idle Joseph Beecroft Holdsworth Firth born circa 1853 in Idle died 1874 Benjamin Firth born circa 1861. I just wondered if this family coincided with a James Firth that anyone else has in their records. Regards Liz Shrewsbury UK
