Hi again listers, Apologies for placing the mouse mat link twice. You should have also had the Yorkshire Dialect website link <http://www.yorkshire-dialect.org/> http://www.yorkshire-dialect.org/ .

However, fortunately, only a small number of these actually existed in 1795, as follows..... Wesleyan, Woodside, founded by 1768, later Meanwoodside, but registers from 1815 only. Wesleyan, Leeds, East Circuit, registers 1785-1839, registers at West Yorkshire Archive Service, Sheepscar, Leeds. Wesleyan, Bramley, erected 1785 but registers only from 1801 at The National Archives, Kew. Wesleyan, Holbeck, f. by 1785, registers from 1785 at TNA. Wesleyan, The Old Chapel, St Peter's St, f. by 1787, registers from 1787 at TNA. Wesleyan, Wesley Chapel, f. by 1793, registers from 1793 at TNA. New Connexion, Woodhouse Lane, christenings from 1785 at WYAS/L. New Connexion, Ebenezer Chapel, f. by 1789, registers from 1789 at TNA. And that would seem to be it. However, I think I should point out, as I expect you already know, that the batch no. you have indicates an LDS Church private submission, which can be dodgy! -- 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."

Hi Listers, my 4x great grandparents, Richard and Anne ELLIS were Methodists in Leeds and were married at Long Marston in Yorkshire 14 April 1794. My 3x great grandfather William Bernard ( Barnard ) ELLIS, according to the IGI was baptised "05 MAR 1795 Methodist, Leeds, Yorkshire, England" Is there any way of identifying the church in question as the batch number 7205427 covers several different churches in the Leeds area. Any help would be appreciated. Regards Paul in Bulwell Nottingham

Greetings all, I have references to my Spivey ancestors in the early 1500 Almondbury Parish Registers. I would like to obtain more information prior to this time. There were many generations of Spiveys associated with the King's Mill on the River Colne going back to early 1500. At that time, I suppose, records were kept by the Manor of Almondbury which would contain references to the mill, (mylne), or hopefully to the name Spivey itself. I would be grateful if anyone would let me know how to access these records or anything else of interest in the Kirklees area relating to the Spiveys & variations thereof? Kind regards, John Spivey

Hi Listers, Following on from Yorkshire Day on Aug 1st and all the great patriotism for this wonderful county (I was born in Yorkshire and have lived here all my life). It is worthy of a mention of the late Len Wilde who died in 1996 aged 86 and was a keen genealogist (and Yorkshireman) living in Ossett. He did a lot of valuable work transcribing the local census returns ready for computer acceptance. He was also very keen on Yorkshire dialect and his son Kevin has started a Yorkshire Dialect website. As a tribute to his memory and with Kevin's permission we produced a Mouse Mat for the York Fair in June with his very amusing Tracing t'Family History which proved to be very popular. I am sure any Yorkshire Tyke who is a genealogist will warm to his words. You can see this on http://www.familytreefolk.co.uk/page_10958.html Visit Kevin's site where you will be amused for hours!! http://www.familytreefolk.co.uk/page_10958.html This is our thanks from all the genealogists out there and a further tribute to his lasting memory.

Margaret, I've had a good look on the IGI and failed to find the births of him and all but one of his sisters. There is a Sarah BREAR on the IGI, christened 24 Mar 1811, Bradford, Yorks with a father Thomas BREAR (batch no K157781), which would fit in. As far as David, Mary, Thomas and William go I'm afraid I'll have to draw a blank. Searching for children of Thomas BREAR and Martha come up with a couple more children, Susannah b 29 Apr 1822, c 9 Jun 1822 (batch no C079701, this is Kirkgate Wesleyan, in Bradford however the IGI only has 1818-1837, perhaps there are further records at WYA?). Perhaps Susannah was known as Ann? And Hannah, c 16 May 1813 (batch no C107651, this is Bradford which is well covered during this time period). Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Thank you Ann. He is a real mystery I have found him on all the census (including 1971 when he was in London visiting a married daughter)) until his death in July 1871, and I have his birth and marriage certificates too. He seems to have, rather unusually for the time I should imaging, 'married up' as he married the daughter of a savings bank manager, and after he died she ran a school so was obviously well educated. Two of his sisters however remained unmarried, and were laundresses, as was his mother.

Thanks for the reminder Derek. Decisions now much easier for dinner tonight! Definitely Yorkshire Pudding. You have inspired me to go and make some Yorkshire Parkin too. I still have my Gran's recipe, baking tin and rolling pin (not that I will need that unless a certain person is late for dinner!)
