Hi Listers, I am coming to the UK next month and want to look up Guisley/Horsforth records. Could anyone please tell me if I would find these in the Bradford Library. Thanks, Maureen in Australia

You would probably be better off at Leeds for Horsforth. Try and visit them both if you have the time - Leeds and Bradford are only about 10 miles apart and there are fast road, rail and bus links between the two cities. However, the parish registers of both Guiseley and Horsforth, if that is what you mean, are at the West Yorkshire Archives Service at Sheepscar, Leeds (not the Central Library). Horsforth was a chapelry of Guiseley.
