Could I mention that BBC2 TV has a weekend celebrating the life and works of the brilliant Leeds playwright, Alan Bennett, marking his 75th birthday? I am currently watching a repeat of a documentary he made in 1988 called "Dinner at Noon", which is all about the Crown Hotel in Harrogate where I stayed last year. He has just mentioned Bettys and Brown & Muffs' store in Bradford. There are repeats of his "Talking Head" made-for-TV short plays - the one featuring the late and wonderful Thora Hird is brilliant. Tomorrow at 6.05 pm there is a lovely play which first appeared in 1972 in black and white, called "A Day Out". I remember seeing this almost 40 years ago and will be watching it avidly! I suspect this is the first time it's been seen since its first showing. It's set in Edwardian times before the First World War and is about a group of cyclists from Halifax going for a run to Bolton Abbey in the Yorkshire Dales.

Since posting the earlier message, I have been looking up Anne Lister's pedigree. She was seemingly born at South Cave in the East Riding but baptised on 12 Sep 1791 at Halifax Parish Church. Her parents were JEREMY (sometimes Jeremiah) LISTER and REBECCA BATTLE, who were married on 2 Aug 1788 at Welton With Melton, near South Cave. Rebecca, the daughter of an East Riding landowner, would have been only 17 or 18 at the time of the marriage, since her baptism is in the IGI on 22 Sep 1770 at Welton With Melton, the daughter of William Battle and Rebecca. Jeremy Lister, according to Wikipedia, was 18 years older than his wife, having been born in 1752 at Shibden Hall which was in the Lister family for over 300 years. Jeremy was an ensign in the 10th Regiment of Foot and fought at Lexington and Concord in the early stages of the American Revolutionary War. Jeremiah (as he appears in the IGI) was baptised at Halifax on 28 Sep 1752, son of another Jeremiah Lister. I hope this is of use to any listers interested in the Listers (if you'll pardon the double- reference pun) of Shibden Hall. -- Roy Stockdill Professional 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."

You're killing me, Roy! We'll probably never get to see any of it......the only thing we get over here are re-runs of 20 year old sitcoms such as "40 Something"!

A double-page spread in today's Daily Mail reports that the "scandalous" diaries of Anne Lister (1791-1840) of Shibden Hall, Halifax, are to be turned into a television drama series. For those who have not heard of Anne Lister (and probably not many people have, but that is about to change), a spot of simple Googling will turn up umpteen web pages about her. You can read some of the extracts online. Her diaries, some of them coded to disguise the sexual references, run to some 4 million words. If you enter "Anne Lister+Daily Mail" you can also read the full article - it's the very first website that appears. Because of her mannish appearance, clothes and lust for female lovers, Anne was dubbed by the nickname of "Gentleman Jack". She lived and behaved more like a man than a woman in an era when most upper-class women were more like Jane Austen's genteel heroines. She rampaged around the countryside, riding and shooting and seducing other women, also travelling widely on the Continent. She entered into a lesbian "marriage" with her last lover, a neighbouring landowner called Ann Walker, and lived with her at Shibden Hall. Anne died while visiting Russia in 1840 and was brought home by Ann Walker to be buried. Ann Walker can be found in the 1841 census, still living at Shibden Hall (HO107 Piece 1303 Book 11 Folio 17 Page 26). Anne Lister is to be played in the TV series by Maxine Peake, who has played Myra Hindley, the Moors Murderer, and also appeared in Victoria Wood's Dinnerladies. -- Roy Stockdill Professional 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."

Hello Jean Thanks for your reply to my message. Steve Whitwam was in contact with me a few months ago regarding the Whitwam's in my family tree.This time I was hoping to find some living descendants of the above JAMES ALBERT WOODSIDE & GLADYS WHITWAM. JAMES ALBERT was the son of my Grand-Dad's brother also JAMES ALBERT WOODSIDE 1867-1935. They lived in Huddersfield. Son JAMES ALBERT WOODSIDE was born 1906 and died 1986 in Dewsbury and had 5 sisters. I am after any surviving photos of my Grand-Dad's family.

Mary Lou, The marriage I have found for Kezia Mitchell is to Samuel Fox and he was a linen weaver of Royston. This was on the 11th November 1817. She was of Royston too and the witness were William Procktor and Jonathan Mitchell. He signed, she made her mark. Kezie had an occupation too but I don't recognise it Martna Maker?

Thank you to those who responded on and off list regarding passports, and my second posting on financial aid for widows. All suggestions were helpful.

Hi Maureen Sorry no photo of Boar's Head in "Huddersfield Pubs", but I would be very interested in communicating with you about the Dodson/Vickerman connection. Kind regards Cathy (Yorkshire lass in South Africa)

Ellen - I think you'll find that Maureen has already located where the pub used to be. She is hoping to find a photo of it. Maureen - It's a long, and possibly fruitless search, but there may be a photo in one of the many books of vintage photos of the area. I have a few books myself and will try to have a look today. It's such a shame that these photos aren't indexed in any way. There is actually a book called Huddersfield Pubs (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Huddersfield-Pubs-Images-England/dp/0752441655/ref= sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1259564465&sr=8-2 ) but I don't have a copy - perhaps someone else on the list has it.
