My gg-grandmother Mary Riley's 1843 marriage cert shows that her father THOMAS RILEY was a tailor in Almondbury. (I think he may have died before that, though, because he doesn't appear on the 1841 census.)
I am trying to find Thomas's baptism - I believe he was born in the 1770's. As he and several of his sons were tailors, perhaps his father was, too.
The IGI shows the marriage of a Thomas Riley to a Mary Brook in Huddersfield on 7 Oct 1799. It also shows the baptism of 8 children of Thomas and Mary at High St Chapel Methodist New Connexion, Huddersfield, but they say they were born in Almondbury or Crosland Moor on the censuses. They were: Sarah (1803), Thomas (1805), Richard (1807), Rowland (1808), Samuel B (1810), Matilda (1813), MARY (1814) and Hannah (1817). However, the oldest child, Elizabeth, was baptised in 1800 "near Lockwood".
If anyone can find out anything about my Rileys I would be extremely grateful!

Shh! Be very, very quiet... I'm hunting forebears!

I can find that Thomas and Mary were married at St Peter's, Huddersfield -
Thomas RILEY 07/10/1799 Mary BROOK BOTP
but none of the children were baptised at Almondbury. I've also checked St Peter's but there's nothing there. You'd need to get the PRs for High Street from your nearest LDS library.
I've checked Almondbury for Thomas around 1779 but he's not there either.
Sorry.

Thanks for looking, Claire. At least I now know the church they were married in.
