I have an IGI reference to Elijah Taylor, birth 2 Jan 1829, at this chapel. I assume that it really is a birth record, and not a baptism? It identifies his parents as Johnson Taylor and Hannah Priestley, and I am having great difficulty locating a marriage record. I think Elijah was the first-born, so a marriage should not be too long before his birth. The chapel records on the IGI don't include marriages, and I can't find it in the IGI at all. I have the Halifax St John's CDs but it's not included there. I've also looked at the new non-conformist website, but only 3 entries appear there, all outside Yorkshire. If the families came from Rastrick or Paddock (wherever that is), would the marriage even have been in Halifax - or Bradford? Hannah Priestley (I looked for this is the less comon of the two names) births are numerous on the non-conformist website, 39 are listed, although I could discount some of them as probably being too early. I do dislike pay-per-view when you have a common name! comes from Yorkshire blood, I guess. In the census returns for the family, Johnson is called John Taylor, but this doesn't seem to get me anywhere either. So there must be something special about a Baptist marriage: where would I look for it next, please? Thanks for any help Maggie

I wish to thank all of you who replied. After 12 months of genealogy I hadn't realised the significance of the 1752 date for England. In particular, I would like to thank Mr. Stockdill for his expertise in all things relating to genealogy. Yes, I have 'lurked' in the shadows reading some very interesting posts and I feel I let myself down by posting a thread that I should have been expected to know, if I had purchased a 'good' genealogical book to start me off. Nevertheless, there has been some interesting posts that I have enjoyed.

Hi Folks, I have a John HIRST who married Caroline HART in 1847 in Campsall. His family came from Hatfield. Some of their children were baptised in Campsall and some in Fenwick. Their son Thomas married Elizabeth COOPER, who was his cousin. Their mothers were sisters. Jane HART, Elizabeth's mother, was my Gt. Gt. Grandmother. Confused?.......you will be! Jill

I think I'm the "other person" that Jenny mentions below, so I'll add a bit more on my HIRST line and some of their connections. My ancestor Richard HIRST had the good sense to die in a parish using Dade registers, and his burial entry (1806) names his father as Jonathan Hirst of Owston, Farmer. His age at burial and his father's relatively uncommon forename are consistent with the baptism found in 1728 in Campsall, which is adjacent to Owston. This evidence of movement from Campsall to Owston, together with Godfrey's mention of Richard in his will, also makes it more likely that the Jonathan father of Richard (1728) and the Jonathan father of Godfrey (1735/36) are one and the same. Assuming there is just one Jonathan, he had two other children who survived to adulthood: Mary, who married Thomas WILSON in Darrington in 1746 - he was later a farmer in Badsworth; and Sarah, who married Roger (or Robert) HEPTONSTALL, a tanner of Ackworth. Jonathan and his wife Mary (surname unknown) are buried in Burghwallis, with their daughter Sarah. My 5x ggf Richard HIRST (1728-1806) married Elisabeth MACHIN in 1759; of 9 children I only know of one who married and had descendants - my ancestor John (1774-1841). This John married Hannah WHITAKER in 1806. Their daughter Elisabeth married James MacKENZIE, a former soldier from Falkirk who was working as a servant of the Rector of Badsworth. John and Hannah's son Richard (1807-1899) married Mary WHEATLEY (from Ulleskelf). They ended up in Meltham Mills and had 12 children and numerous further descendants. One of the 12 children was my gggf John HIRST (1832-1871), who married Ann WILKINSON (from Morton, Bingley); their children were my ggm Elizabeth (who married John STOW of Bradford), and twins Alfred and Watson, who both became schoolmasters - Alfred in Marsden (he married Ellen Louisa BAMFORD) and Watson in York (he married Louisa SCOTT). I'd be interested to hear if anyone spots a connection among those names.

Hello Chris I have the Barnsley Pals book by Jon Cooksey. It lists all the soldiers of the 13th Battalion of the Yorkshire & Lancashire regiment ( 1st Barnsley Pals) killed on the 1st July 1916 - including your John MARCHBANKS. According to this record, he was born in Spennymoor Co.Durham, and was married. He died at the age of 29. He lived at 5 Obelisk View, Bloomhouse Green, Darton. His regimental number was 13/1233, and he enlisted in Barnsley. The Barnsley Pals were in the 31st Army Division, and on 1st July 1916 they were attacking the German lines in front of the town of Serre. Other units on their sector, were the Accrington Pals, Sheffield City bn, Leeds Pals, Durham Pals, 1st and 2nd Bradford Pals, as well as the 2nd Barnsley Pals. John MARCHBANKS was buried in the Queens Cemetery in PUSIEUX, grave row B.number 56. I had a great uncle also in the 1st Barnsley Pals, who also died on the 1st July 1916. However he is buried in a cemetery behind the lines - which I visited on a WW1 Battlefield tour. Looking at the map of the area, PUSIEUX is some distance away from this part of the front on 1st July. (even behind the German lines), so it's possible that he was one of dead who was re-buried in another much larger cemetery - think they were named concentration cemeteries - where bodies of soldiers from very many small cemeteries in a whole area were re-interred. It's worthwhile visiting the cemetery, as each has a book of remembrance in a "box" in the perimeter wall, sometimes giving more details about the soldier and his family, his previous occupation etc - otherwise you would have to visit yourself. These details are not listed on the War Graves commission website... whilst I checked and found your MARCHBANKS to get the name of the cemetery, and grave location. The obits would be in the Barnsley Chronicle, sometime after 1st July 1916. (Mine was in mid August). I reckon that most of them had relatively simple lines, and at a guess would start in mid July and tail off late in that year.

Re SHEARD. So far I've only been tracking Sheard's from Mirfield. I can help with some of them. My 4th g-grandmother was Susanna SHEARD b~1743 who married Joseph ARMYTAGE b-1747 on 26 Dec 1769 in Mirfield Her father was a Samuel SHEARD. The couple's son was Quartermaster Sergeant John ARMITAGE of the Honourable East India Company. He spent much of his career in the Chatham Barracks.in Kent. (A history book about the company tells the story of a group of enterprising Sergeants at the barracks who billed all the departing soldiers for a broken window that had been cracked for years. Apparently they made a small fortune one shilling at a time. - Now I know where my g-grandfather Armitage DENTON got all his money!!) Nelson

Having seen Nelson's posting about his Hirst family of Mirfield I thought I would re-post my interest in the same surame but at Owston & Campsall. I have a Godfrey HIRST who was baptised at Owston in 1735 son of Jonathan Hirst, and I believe he may have been my 4 x Gt. Grandfather who married Dorothy DUNHILL, dau. of Richard Dunhill who grew the liquorice in Pontefract. I have been trying for years to find a way to be sure that the Godfrey Hirst bapt. 1735 Owston was in fact the one that married Dorothy Dunhill in Jan. 1770 at Newton Kyme and then went off to live in Northallerton in the North Riding. I know that Godfrey and Dorothy were indeed my 4 x Gt. Grandparents as I have tracked my line back to them and have quite a bit on their descendants but trying to pin Godfrey Hirst's birthplace down for sure is proving difficult and the 1735 baptism at Owston is the best I have managed to find so far. Working on the father Jonathan shown in that Owston baptism for Godfrey Hirst I have found the following so far. I believe Jonathan Hirst would have been born about 1690. His first child that I know of was called Sarah and she was born 2nd Dec. 1717 according to her baptism at Campsall. Jonathan's last child baptised at Campsall that I know of was Richard in 1728, the PR entry says that father Jonathan Hirst was of Fenwick. . My Godfrey Hirst's will dated 1806 and written at Northallerton includes his brother Richard Hirst of Badsworth. I have a marriage for Richard Hirst at Badsworth and he and his wife, Elizabeth Machin, had their children all baptised there too. Richard died late in 1806 at Badsworth and Godfrey died in February 1807, presumably before he changed his will to exclude his deceased brother Richard of Badsworth. I am in touch with another person who has Richard Hirst at Badsworth in his tree and believe that this was Godfrey Hirsts brother and therefore some sort of Great Uncle to me. The spelling of the Hirst name with an I is less common than Hurst with a U, though both are very common in Yorkshire as a whole which doesn't help. Regards Jenny DeAngelis Spain. <<Nelson wrote > I have a number of the Hirst family from Mirfield in my tree. > Joshua HIRST and Sarah DAWSON m 10 Mar 1691 7th g-grandparents > Parents to Mary Hirst c 27 Sep 1697 6th g- grandmother married Jonathan > DENTON B~1693 Kirkheaton or Mirfield > Eliza HIRST c 26 Jun 1694 married William WRATHMEL c 5 Nov 1692 m ~1713 6th g-grandparents>>

Hi Jenny, Reading your message about the Hirst family,I have connections with the Dunhills my husbands gggrandmother was Jane Dunhill b 1827 at Felkirk she married Francis Wigglesworth.

Thanks Maggie. That gives me some more accurate info than the IGI does. :-))) I agree completely with Maggie on the size of some families in small towns and the almost hopelessness of sorting out some families. The HIRST family in "Mirfield" (pop <3,000) has over 1500 references to it on the IGI!!! with close to 2500 people named. That's a lot to sort out. I've whittled the list down to 1117 individuals so far, with hundreds more duplicates to merge. I'm figuring about 6-700 people named Hirst were born in Mirfield from 1500-1850 not including spouses and descendents with other surnames And why ever did David and John Hirst both decide to name their son's "John" on 22 Dec 1804 and 20 Dec 1804 respectively!!!

Hello, Nelson, The Dentons are listed below. At least is tells you the marriage you mention was in Mirfield, not Kirkheaton. Mirfield seems to be almost incestuous in the interrelationships between the families! I have ties to Wrathmel, too: my line is Barker, and it's so big I haven't even done this kind of analysis on them, yet. Which reminds me to say to the list at large: Nelson is lucky that his Denton family is relatively small and I simply couldn't undertake normally to list whole families over 200 years.

I have a number of the Hirst family from Mirfield in my tree. Joshua HIRST and Sarah DAWSON m 10 Mar 1691 7th g-grandparents Parents to Mary Hirst c 27 Sep 1697 6th g- grandmother married Jonathan DENTON B~1693 Kirkheaton or Mirfield Eliza HIRST c 26 Jun 1694 married William WRATHMEL c 5 Nov 1692 m ~1713 6th g-grandparents Most of old Mirfield families tie into mine. Sorting them out is the problem. The IGI does not list deaths for most part so my "tree" may contain some dead babies who "had kids" ! :-(((

HI LeeAnn You could try e.mailing Huddersfield library at the contact details below and asking if they can help with the Obituary. If you give them details of the person, name date of death an address or place where the person died, whatever information you can give them, they may be able to find the entry and perhaps send you a photocopy from the local newspaper. It would be worth an e.mail and if they can help they will be able to tell you about any charges for the service. Huddersfield Library General Office.
