>From Alan Longbottom No one so far has fully explained to Ellen the difference between a graveyard and a cemetery. A graveyard is attached to a church or chapel whereas a Cemetery is either a Private Cemetery such as occurs at Undercliffe, in Bradford of Woodhouse in Leeds.

Well that may change things a little Alan thank you for the interpretation. Here a graveyard is a cemetery, they mean the same, attached to Church or otherwise. Some are owned privately & some by Municipality but all open to public. Unless of course it is strictly one Family owned. Also our abandoned Cemeteries are responsibility of Municipality, unfortunately there seem to be more & more abandoned Cemeteries due to many of our Churches closing. In this case then I suppose I should be asking about Graveyards for my Taylor Family. Ellen

Because he was a Baptist minister doesn't necessarily mean that his parents were Baptists also. You must remember that people dropped in and out of various denominations with regularity. I suggest the 1841 census (which is barely readable in the where born column) and 1851 are probably administrative errors by the enumerator. His wife appears to have been born at Rawcliffe. You don't mention the 1871, by which time he was widowed, but that states quite clearly his birth place as "Armitage Fold", which is near Berry Brow and is/was in the Parish of Almondbury. Therefore, the 1861 census is likely to be accurate. He died in 1873 at Aylesbury registration district, where he had been a Baptist minister at Haddenham, Bucks. I am sure I don't have to tell you that DYSON is a very common surname indeed in the Colne Valley - so good luck! However, the IGI does have an Amos DYSON, son of James and Salley [sic], whose birth (not baptism) appears to have been recorded at Salendine Nook Meeting House-Particular Baptist, Quarmby Cum Lindley, on 4 Sept 1811 (batch no. C093571). This is a well-known nonconformist chapel in the Huddersfield area and easily found with Google. There is a history online. Could I point out again that the IGI entry says it was a BIRTH record and not a christening? So this wouldn't preclude him from being your man! -- Roy Stockdill 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."

Some of we older hands do, I fear, occasionally make the mistake of assuming that everybody else knows what we are talking about when we toss these references around! Waterloo churches are often also known as "Million" churches because they were built under a movement started to commemorate the victory over Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815 and parliament in 1818 voted the sum of one million pounds to provide funding for a radical church building programme. This Act became known as the "Million Act". After various other financial initiatives and moves over a fair number of years, by 1856 over three million pounds had been spent on building a total of 612 new churches, 106 of them in Yorkshire, the majority in the West Riding. One of them was Christ Church, Linthwaite, a chapelry of the Parish of Almondbury, built in 1827-8. A comprehensive description of Waterloo/Million churches is to be found in my good friend Colin Blanshard Withers' excellent book on Yorkshire Parish Registers as an appendix, along with a complete list of all the Yorkshire churches so built. -- Roy Stockdill 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."

What sort of date are you looking for. Linthwaite church was a Waterloo church built in the early 19 C. I used to live at Linthwaite. They have an old graveyard round the church another across the road in Church Lane. The ones you mention are not relevant to Linthwaite. There is also a chapel in the bottom of Linthwaite, I think they have a graveyard.

Looking for cemeteries in the Shipley area. Looking specifically for Butterfield's in 1750's to 1830's. Should be several Williams, do not know wives names. Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Can anyone help with the parents/ancestors of above Amos Dyson, born approx 1811 ? He was later a Baptist Minister. 1841 Census says born "Staffordshire" 1851 says born Rawcliffe, Rotherham 1861 says born Almondbury, Huddersfield. Married Mary HARNEW, 4 Jun 1836 at Thorne, near Doncaster.. There are a couple of possible baptisms in 1811 at Huddersfield, but as far as I know, Baptists did not baptise their children untill they were 10 or 12 years old ?? Thank You, Gordon.

Thank you Roy, was wondering. Where/how would a Canadian be able to obtain a copy of Mr. Wither's book on Yorkshire Parishes? Ellen

Audrey, I went online using Linthwaite Cemeteries in browser & those are the 3 that came up, sorry, am in Canada & researching sometimes is not easy. Am looking for death dates of May 1929 & Dec 1945. Ellen

Am planning trip across the pond 2012 & am hoping to find burial place of my grdparents before leaving. Understand they may be buried in Linthwaite. Would someone be kind enough to give me names & address of Cemeteries in Linthwaite so that I may write to them. Have Rose Hill on Birkby Hall Rd, Huddersfield Crematorium on Fixby Rd., & Rastrick on Carr Green Lane already. Are there more? Ellen

It's by a chap called George Sheeran, an architectural historian, and was published in 1992 (Ryburn Publishing Ltd, Krumlin, Halifax). I expect you have a copy. It says it was compiled largely from newspaper reports, principally from the Bradford Observer but also The Times, Manchester Guardian and Liverpool Mercury. The cover of the booklet, a report from the Bradford Observer, initially reported 17 persons dead and a "large number of severe sufferers". The final total stood at 20 deaths and some 200-300 who were made ill. However, the book, oddly enough, does not list all the dead and only names the principals responsible for the arsenic poisoning, along with the officials and police who investigated the case.

Hi, thought you might be interested in my latest blog on the Bradford sweet poisoning 18 people were killed and at least 200 became ill on the 1st November 1858.
