Would some kind soul advise me where the parish records for Gildersome are?
On the IGI batch C108092 there are the christenings between 1806 and 1812 of four people by the name of Pull*n (three different spellings: the star could be A, E or O), all with the same father's name (William) but the earliest with a different mother.
I'm wondering if a sight of the actual entries might give me more information than can be found on the IGI.

Huddersfield and District FHS Morley and District FHG
Is that any help ? ..... or is that worse ??

I put a request on the Morley FHG board at 17.30 and had the answer within the hour. Someone with a copy of the Batley registers which cover Gildersome was able to give me all of the information that I wanted. IGI has the wrong mother's name for the first child. Thanks again, both. Peter
