I did a bit of research on the White Windows Priestleys a while back but could find nothing that would indicate a Thomas with at least three sons. It is certainly likely that Thomas was not a native of Spring Hall but that he is from White Windows, retiring to Spring Hall by 1814 (the information about Spring Hall is from a book that says that when Edward Priestley and Mary Ann Kenworthy married in 1814, his father was from Spring Hall, Yorkshire). Edward Jonathan Priestley and his English progeny have a military history, or at least a civilian presence, in India. All of Edward's sons were military men (Edward Ramsden, Frederick John Blakiston, Arthur Gore and Horatio), and I was hoping that the India connection might lead me to a Thomas Priestley who was military, Civil Service, or perhaps East India Company, but so far no luck. As I am doing this research from the US I am limited to internet findi! ngs. Where do you obtain the Newspaper Clippings? Are they from ancestry or from another source?

Somerset is a county in the West of England and Middlesex and Westminster are now part of London. What's the Yorkshire connection? I see none whatsoever. Perhaps being in Denmark you are unfamiliar with the geography of Britain? Yorkshire is the largest county in England and it is in the north - some 200 miles from both Middlesex and Somerset. -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

Kate, could you please look up the parish registers for Yorkshire? I am searching for the christening for JOHN ATKINSON born in 1827. His father is THOMAS Atkinson. I do not know definitely his mother though it could be Mary Ann or Sarah. I understand that a John Atkinson was christened on the 24th of May 1829 at Hutton Rudley and am puzzling about whether he is my ancestor. Can you find another JOHN ATKINSON born and christened in Hunslet in 1827 with a father Thomas?

However, I can assure the original enquirer et all that Spring Hall is beyond any question whatsoever an area of Halifax. It lies just to the south of the town centre on the road to Huddersfield, just after The Shay (home of Halifax Town FC and Halifax Rugby League Club) and just before Salterhebble Hill. There was - and hopefully still is - a sports ground with tennis courts, playing fields and an athletics running track at Spring Hall - unless, that is, those wretched parasites known as developers haven't built over it by now! When I was at Elland Grammar School in the 1950s, grammar schools from all over the Halifax area used to take part in a big inter-schools sports competition at Spring Hall. I ran there once in the 880 yards as the half-mile champion of Elland GS - and before anyone asks, I came last out of eight because I found myself up against lads from other schools who were twice my size! I have never heard of another Spring Hall in Yorkshire. -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

Certainly, Catholics had to marry in the Church of England, under Hardwicke's Marriage Act, from 1754-1837, but they still carried out their own baptisms and burials in 1800. I don't believe it was compulsory for them by law by then to baptise their offspring in the Anglican Church. It may well be that many did, in fact, baptise their children in the C of E because there weren't that many Catholic churches and chapels around at the time - the number of Catholics was no more than 250,000 in 1811 - and those that were were often private chapels on the estates of the older aristocratic Catholic families. These chapels were mostly used by the family and their servants (who probably had little choice). Catholics had to marry in the C of E under Hardwicke's Act, the only exceptions allowed being Quakers and Jews - but they could still perform baptisms in their own religion. There were Catholic marriage ceremonies as well, but they weren't valid in civil law and a couple had to marry as well in the parish church, often on the same day or within a couple of days. -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
