Can anyone tell me where Vale Cottage, Michelhurst is in Yorkshire, England? Is it near Mossley or Saddleworth? I am researching a John Sykes, of that place, who died Dec. 25, 1900?, aged 72 yrs., ( b.c. 1828 ), who is buried in Mossley with wife, Ann, who died July 25, 1893 ( b.c. 1828 ). Buried with them were son, James Sykes and his wife, Mary Ann, and their daughter, Ethel. Any information about these Sykes and about the location of Michelhurst would be very much appreciated.
Jean Mayo.

Think you will find it is Micklehurst and it is near Mossley, which in turn is near Saddleworth. The area is one which used to be Yorkshire. Will have a look to see if I can find a map.

Does anyone have any information on this Sykes family of Vale Cottage, Micklehurst and its family origins? I have a bit more information to offer. James Sykes, s/o this John Sykes mentioned earlier, died Sept. 14, 1932, aged 60 years. James' wife was Mary Ann Sykes, who died Mar. 21, 1929 aged 58 years. Their daughter, Ethel, died Aug. 1, 1928, aged 26 years. They are all buried together in Mossley in the churchyard in Friezland. I am trying to figure out if he is the father of John Sykes ( b.c. 1857 in Golcar, who was in Saddleworth in 1881 and went to Mossley bet. 1891 and 1900 ) and if he was the brother of Benjamin Sykes ( b.c. 1823 in Honley, but was in Saddleworth with his family in 1861 and 1871 and was deceased bef. the 1881 census ).
Any help with figuring out this family would be very much appreciated!
Jean Mayo.

Thanks, Nessie. A cup of tea sounds like a great idea. I think I'll take a break and enjoy a cup. Looking forward to hearing back from you, but there is no rush.
Jean.

I have Sykes in West Yorkshire in the Golcar area, but much earlier, still, there could be a connection. A great source of information has been Steve Whitwam. Have you been in touch with him at all? Try him at Moderator has removed email address to stop spam
Good luck! HH

Hi Jon,
That was an excellent explanation. Thank you very much for taking the time to type that to me. So, Vale Cottage then was part of Micklehurst, which was part of Mossley?
Jean.

Thanks, Wendy. I'll save this information for future reference, but everything on this side of the ocean says that John Sykes, b.c. 1857 in Golcar, was son of John Sykes and mother unknown. I do know that John Sykes, b.c. 1857 in Golcar, had an uncle named Benjamin Sykes, who was born in Honley in 1821-23, parents as yet unknown. He was in Dean House, Honley in the 1851 census, and in Saddleworth in the 1861 and 1871 census...he was deceased before the 1881 census. His nephew, John Sykes, b.c. 1857 in Golcar, s/o John Sykes, was in Saddleworth by the 1881 census and was there in 1891. By 1900 he was in Mossley when his wife, Isabella, died there, and in the 1901 census. In 1906 he took his children to New Bedford, MA., USA. I think the key to the father of John Sykes, b.c. 1857 in Golcar, is by tracing back his uncle, Benjamin Sykes in Honley. Thanks again for the information. I appreciate your kindness.
