I will be spending a couple of days in the Bradford area in late August and I hope to do some research on my SPEIGHT ancestors. I am specifically searching for the baptismal record for siblings Samuel Speight and Alice Speight, the second and third children of Thomas Speight and Martha (nee DRAKE). Thomas and Martha were married in the Parish Church of Bradford on 29 July 1822 and their first son, John, was baptized on 30 March 1823 in the parish church of Bingley. Samuel was born in England in 1825, according to the 1871 Canadian census and the registration of his death on April 1, 1876. The 1901 Canadian census lists Alice McBride (nee Speight) born 8 January 1827 in England. As well, I would love to visit some of the places Thomas, Martha and the three children might have known before emigrating to Canada around 1830. There is a lot I hope to cram into a couple of days and I would appreciate input from listers familiar with accessing available records and suggestions as to where my time would be best spent. I originally posted this message to the Bradford list so I apologize to anyone who is receiving it a second time; I had no response to my query and I'm hoping the West Riding list might be able to help me - it seems to be a more active list.
