"An Hotel in Halifax"
« on: Tuesday 16 May 06 10:24 UTC (UK) »
Hi, Everyone,
Having unsuccessfully tried to discover the whereabouts of a Holdsworth near Halifax as a place of birth/baptism in 1697, I have discovered by googling a modern day hotel called Holdsworth House, apparently built in 1633...
Does anybody know where I might find some kind of history of this building?
Very best wishes,
Keith

Keith:

From your Scout Hall enquiry, you're obviously familiar with my Calderdale Companion and will have visited the entry for Holdsworth House there at

http://members.aol.com/calderdale/h.html#h297

What more would you like to know?

Malcolm,
Sorry, a complete oversight on my part not to consult your Companion first.  I have done so now, and am more the wiser...!
Very best wishes,
Keith
N.B. A mere coincidence, but I've just realised that woman who adopted my grandmother in 1899 or so in Hampstead was born in Ovenden, according to the Census...
