I am researching the surname HIRST in the Owston & Campsall areas of the WRY and have made contact with one or two people who share the same family of Hirst with me. One of these contacts I know has their later Hirsts at Badsworth where the father isRichard Hirst occ. Butcher and the mother is Elizabeth. Another, more recently found, contact told me today that he had found the baptisms on the familysearch site for a couple of children of Richard and Elizabeth at Badsworth, but which I found turned out to be patron submissions. But I went to the ancestry site and the WRY PRs there for 1512-1812. I searched for Hirst with the above parents names and up came daughter Mary baptised in Dec. 1771 and son John baptised in 1774 but noted by Ancestry as having taken place at Nether Thong All saints. Looking at the bottom of "View Record" page for these entries where it gives information on where the details were taken from give a West Yorks Archives Service ref. as Old Ref. D 19/4 New Ref. WD19/4 Going to the WYAS site and searching for Badsworth parish register I found that the ref. given there was WD19/1-4 . A search of the WYAS for Netherthong parish registers brings up a result where the PRs for All Saints Netherthong date only from 1815 and the ref. if WDP18. The PRs for st. Andrews Netherthong date from 1878 with ref. WDP 245. According to Wikipeadia All Saints church Netherthong was not built until 1829-30, Ancestry it would appear have put the marriages Badsworth correctly under Badsworth but the baptisms, and possibly the burials too I haven't checked those, are under Nether Thong. I have e.mailed Ancestry to tell them of this apparent error and await their response. But I thought others might find the above useful to know if they are looking for entries in the Badsworth PRs, it pays to check the information at the bottom of the View Record page that goes with each entry on Ancestry and look at the relevant CRO ref. number given there.

Researching the family of John William Booth (1865-1901?) of Glasshoughton. John W. was my great grand uncle. He married Fanny Taylor (1864-??) in Dec. 1887, Pontefract District, and they had two sons, John (1888-??) and William (Willie) (1892-??). In the 1901 Census the family were living at Rock Hill, Glasshoughton. John W. was a Colliery Byworker, aged 35. Fanny was aged 37, John 12 and Willie 8. In the 1911 Census I can find no trace of John W. or Fanny. I believe John, aged 22, was in the Navy, an Able Seaman stationed at Devonport. Willie, aged 18, was living with his grandmother, Mary Hopwood, (previously Booth, nee Burn) and his step grandfather, Eli Hopwood, in Glasshoughton. Willie was employed as a Coal miner above ground. Oh, for a 1921 Census!!!! I have a John William Booth dying in 1901 Pontefract District and I believe this to be my John W. (Mine accident??) Would like to know what happened to Fanny (I presume she re-married, as she was left with a 12 and an 8 year old), and the boys. There is an old Family story that a Captain John Booth came down from Scotland in the 1920's to visit my grandfather in Pontefract. This may have been the John Booth who was in the Navy in 1911? All help much appreciated. Keith Booth, New Zealand.

(sorry for cross posting) Hi, I'm looking for the site of the original almshouses in Almondbury (not the current ones, at the north side of the church). I understand that 6 small almshouses were built at Broken Cross in the 17th century by the Nettleton Charity. These were near the Almondbury workhouse which was situated at the junction of Kaye Lane and Wheatroyd Lane. My grandparents lived in one of the small cottages still standing at Broken Cross but I never remember any reference to Alms Houses in the area and I was brought up around there. I'm wondering if the existing cottages were actually the Almshouses - they were certainly owned by Huddersfield Corporation in the 1950s & 60s and, from memory, must have been built well before 1800. All thoughts welcome. Kind Regards Maureen Mitchell A Yorkshire tyke living in Norfolk (UK) Researching JUBB & VICKERMAN Guild of One Name Studies

Fascinating to learn that the 1918 wedding was a Registry Office do. I imagine that the 1919 one at Kington was the full-dress church wedding. One does wonder why the Registry Office one was necessary, though . . . There are a large number of mistakes on that page, and a staggeringly large number of omissions. Would you like details of all the descendants of Molly and Gerald? Debrett's dropped us after the 2000 edition - we are now too far distant from the Every baronetcy, apparently - so I cannot simply refer you to a published source for more-recent additions to the family, but would have to send you them from my own records. >There is no notes that I have found yet in the papers of Ray Lewis-Jones >that relate to the second marriage but I would be interested if you do find >the answer!

G'day Folks, Have noticed several entries in the Almondbury Marriages Register for 1729-30 where the marriage was performed "by virtue of Licence granted by Mr Sharpe of Coley" or words similar. Why or how would he grant a Licence for these marriages? Thanks, Bill Melbourne, Oz

Bill, The Mr Sharpe of Coley, who you mentioned, was Nathan Sharpe, the Curate of Coley Chapel from 1703 until he died 9th May 1733, buried 15th May, age 58 years & 10 months. As curate of Coley, he would issue Banns or Licences for one of his Coley parishioners to marry a partner who lived or Worshipped at Almondbury, to be married at Almondbury. Regards, Gordon.

Hello June The strange numbers on the 1911 census records are "occupation codes" and "birthplace codes" On FMP they can be found in "Getting Started with Censuses" under "Census Records" - "Knowledge Base" - "1911 census codes". They are not always easy to read but can give a helpful hint when the original entry is difficult to read. For example - James Francis BENBOW - occupation - 240 = Painters and decorators his place of work - 951 = Local Authority Gasworks Service. Walter Gladstone BENBOW - occupation - 320 = Grocers, tea, coffee, chocolate dealers, his place of work - 990 = Multiple shop, multiple store John Septimus BENBOW - occupation - 050 = Commercial or business clerks his place of work code I couldn't decipher. The birthplace codes are usually found in the nationality column - 058 = Liverpool, 171 = Great Yarmouth 0X appears to mean = either "don't know" or "not stated".

Thank you all for your comments, and of course it should be the 1911 census. June

Good evening, I am trying to find my 2x great uncles marriage. Hopefully someone can help. William Hargreaves married Sarah Annie, on the 1911 census they had been married 11 years. William born Sowerby Bridge Annie born Tedbury/Tetbury Herefordshire. On the 1911 they were living in Wednesbury. Only one seems to match on Free BMD that of last quarter 1899, in Wortley. I tried on ancestry and could not find a match, I was wondering if someone has a subscription to ancestry and could email me a copy of the actual entry showing the father and their ages. I need to know if this is them in Wortley because I cannot understand why they would have been there, maybe there are clues as to witnesses. My email is wortleylouise@gmail.com Kind regards Louise Wortley. Sent from my iPhone On 5 Feb 2012, at 16:04, west-riding-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
