Hello Roy I have recently added Disley, Chs marriages to one of my websites & thought you might be interested in this one. 16 Jun 1869 LEIGHTON James full bachelor, clerk of New Town, Disley son of George, miller & GAMERSON Eliza Lydia full spinster of New Town, Disley son of John, tailor Witnesses: Wm STOCKDALE; Elizabeth STOCKDALE banns; both signed; p59, entry 118 Marjorie Ward Derbyshire, UK Hollingworth ONS www.hollingworths.net Sources for Disley; Lyme Handley; Taxal & Whaley www.disley.net Sources for NWDby incl.

Malcolm Bull's message and quotation of an old Chinese proverb summed up my attitude to look-ups and naïve queries rather well. In fact, I have often quoted the same proverb myself. My view - and I will not change it - is quite simply this: at the end of the day you help a person far, far more by telling them HOW to do something for themselves and NOT by doing it for them! To use an analogy, it's like the schoolchild who cribs the exam answers from the kid at the next desk. He may pass the exam but he won't have learned a damned thing. Yes, I could easily have told Marylou who Graham Norton is but I directed her towards Google, which will tell you in an instant exactly who any famous person is, where they were born, what they do, etc. I wouldn't ask on a US list for details of somebody who is apparently famous in America but not in Britain. I would go straight to Google and look it up, knowing it would be there. Likewise, a great many questions asked here about Yorkshire genealogy by newcomers can be solved very quickly by going to the Yorkshire pages of GENUKI. This is an absolutely fantastic resource and should be visited by all with Yorkshire interests on a regular basis. One of the most important pages is "Where is it in Yorkshire?" which will give you the location and parish of just about anywhere in the county you care to name. The appropriate URL is..... http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/index.html Now, it is my considered view that by bringing this brilliant website to the attention of those newcomers who weren't aware of it I have actually taught them far more, and done them far more good, than by answering endless questions about where-is-so-and-so-in Yorkshire! I trust folks get my point? -- Roy Stockdill Editor, Journal of One-Name Studies Guild of One-Name Studies website: www.one-name.org 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."

From: "Lyn Wolf" <lawolf@dodo.com.au> > Thankyou Roy and Jean for the information. As there are no marriages > mentioned for the chapel, where would they most likely have occurred? > regards Lyn> Probably St Mary's, Gisburn, since Houghton (or Tosside) Chapel was originally a chapel of ease to St Mary's. This is explained on the website to which I drew your attention. Apparently the chapel is one of those deeply unfortunate places which, thanks to the machinations of the idiot Whitehall bureaucrats in 1974, used to be in Yorkshire and is now in Lancashire! -- Roy Stockdill Editor, Journal of One-Name Studies Guild of One-Name Studies website: www.one-name.org 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." OSCAR WILDE
As Houghton is a chapel of ease for Gisburn would suggest Gisburn and the IGI has both Cooke and Watson marr. Do you know of the Hugh Wallis site http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm# PageTitle from which you can go straight to the batch numbers for the place you want. Jean

Roy, what a very rude man you are.!! Who do you think you are, to tell people what they should, or should not do on this list.? I thought that was the admins job. In the time it took you to reply to Marylou, YOU could,and obviously did,GOOGLE for web pages.Why did you not give them to her.THAT would have been less rude, and , more in keeping, with a helpful list.

I am one of Roy Stockdill's strongest critics and from the list - and references to him which I found on GOOGLE - I continually get the impression of his being an arrogant, self-satisfied bigot who knows all and does not suffer fools gladly. However, I do acknowledge his attitude in this instance which is another take on the Chinese (?) proverb about Give a man a fish; and you feed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you feed him for a lifetime Regards Malcolm Bull
Hi Graham Norton isn't just Irish - apparently, from what I heard of the programme, his father, Billy Walker's, ancestors were originally from South Yorkshire, and the Wentworth area, working on the Earl of Fitzwilliam's estate. So Graham is in part a Yorkshire man, in genealogical terms. This is significant for me, because I have a long line of Walkers from that exact spot, Elsecar, Scholes, Barnsley...they are very deeply rooted in the locality - in fact during the 19c, they seemed to own most of the pubs in the area! And every Walker I have come across in the locality has been related - there doesn't seem to be unconnected Walkers living as a separate entity line. So I hope I can be forgiven for wanting to find out more what was said on the BBC programme! The other weird thing is that - apparently - Graham said he chose the name Norton as it was a family name, rather than use Walker. But I don't know which side of his family it was from... At the end of the 19c, one of my Walkers married a Norton, from a Norton family based in the village of Hoyland, next to the Fitzwilliam estate - although I think that was too recent to tie that to Graham....but there might be another link there somewhere, if that is where his Norton name is from.

Hi all.......being from the U.S. I'm not aware of who GRAHAM NORTON is, nor can I get the program over here. However, one of my gg-grandmother's was born RACHEL NORTON in Barnsley and am wondering if there may be a connection. Slight chance, I'm sure....but you never know! Can someone fill me in on Graham's ancestry, please. Thanks.....mary lou The Graham Norton prog was very interesting . Who would have thought he would end up in Sheffield ?! Last week's one on Alistair McGowan was brilliantly entertaining ....and well worth looking for a repeat.

Hi Judy.....in that case, why don't you contact the FHS local to Shelf to see if they may have more information. mary lou Hello Mary Lou Many thanks for the picture but there was an older building than this, complete with graveyard. The first of my ancestors, which I have found so far, were buried there in 1826 and the register showed earlier burials than this. Many thanks.

I have a copy of it, but I won't be able to get it in the post till next week and the way that the strikes are at the moment I don't know if that's even a good idea. If you'd like me to put it on a dvd for you let me know.

Hi! I was idiot enough to fall asleep during this, one of the most interesting episodes, (I thought the Carol Vorderman one was constantly wandering off the mark). I recorded the repeat, with sign-language, later that night. The problem is, it's on my PVR/DVR, so would require me to borrow a DVD recorder, no problem, but I would certainly be interested if it is repeated on another day.

Yes, I think you are right with High St. There was a High St on the 1907 map, just off Howard St Marie Robbins ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Akroyd" <davidakroyd@mac.com> To: <west-riding@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, October 12, 2007 10:09 AM Subject: Re: [WRY] Census Report > Hi > > looking at the previous and following pages of the census I think the > address is HIGH Street > > > > > Kind regards > David Akroyd > > > > On 11 Oct 2007, at 22:55, Steve Frost wrote: > >> Can someone please check on the 1901 census for Joshua Frost(46), >> Elizabeth Frost(38) and family in Batley. >> I cannot make out if the street is Keigh Street or Haigh Street. >> >> Steve Frost >> >> >> ------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to WEST-RIDING- >> request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes >> in the subject and the body of the message > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > WEST-RIDING-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
