For David, who wanted some information about William Binns buried 1854 at Haworth. I have some fiche here at local LDS centre, found a one-line entry for him - William Binns abode was Bingley buried 16 May 1854 48 yrs of age the minister was Thomas Jackson of Thornton. I know there is a list of monumental inscriptions on film or fiche for the Church of England cemetery aat Haworth. Patrick Bronte was minister there for some years. As you would konw, he is father of the famous Bronte sisters who wrote novels. I can't find the exact number of film to order but if you ask at a Mormon centre they can look it up. It was name-indexed at the front to make it easy and had drawings of the plans of setout. Aileen in Australia

Many thanks for your response Aileen. I have already seen the Haworth Parish records and the record of the burial you reference. The problem I have is that I have been unable to find a baptism for a William BINNSthat corresponds with this burial. What I hope to do is to find the grave in which he was buried and hope that this will enable the identification of other members of his family and even his parents. Clearly my best bet is to chase the MI's for Haworth either through the LDS or directly with the vicar or PCC. In passing my great grandfather, Wilkinson BINNS, son of the elusive William, was baptised at Haworth on 2nd October 1831, by Patrick Bronte. One further aside: An early message to this list has helped me to find much about my great grandfather Thomas JONES. I have just obtained a copy certificate for his third marriage, at the age of 62, to Emma HOLMES. They lived at 7 Green Street, Keighley. If anybody has information on the Jones's or Holmes's I'll be delighted to share what I have. ----- Original Message ----- From: Aileen Furness <furness@westnet.com.au> To: <ENG-YKS-BRADFORD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2003 1:32 PM Subject: [ BRAD] BINNS > For David, who wanted some information about William Binns buried 1854 at > Haworth. > > I have some fiche here at local LDS centre, found a one-line entry for > him - > William Binns abode was Bingley buried 16 May 1854 48 yrs of age the > minister was Thomas Jackson of Thornton. > > I know there is a list of monumental inscriptions on film or fiche for the > Church of England cemetery aat Haworth.

Hi David The Bronte Museum has an extract of the MI's for Haworth Graveyard, and I think that Keighley library may have a copy. I seem to remember that you have to make an appointment to examine the MI's at the museum. When I visited they were not indexed, and some of the graves appeared to contain persons who are not related.
