Kirklees Metropolitan Council Bereavement Services should be able to help. Their phone number is 01484 234060. My grandfather was buried there and they located his grave for me. Hope this helps. MJN

Just a thought - could they have been cremated?

Thanks for that, BumbleB. Looks as though I'll have to take a trip to WY Archives. 😊

Hi Trevor

Many thanks for trying to find Grace but unfortunately it's not the one I'm looking for. My Grace's parents are Samuel Parkin and (I think) Mary Sykes.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Golcar Wellhouse (New Connexion) Methodist Church

Does anyone have access to the baptism/dedication records for the above Methodist Church? I've been unable to find the baptism record for my GGgrandmother, Grace Parkin, who was born about 1825 in Longwood (according to censuses). Some of her many siblings were baptised/dedicated at Golcar Pole Moor Baptist Church but I've never been able to find a record for Grace.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Carole, for your prompt reply. He's listed as an agricultural labourer which doesn't seem to tie in with him being a soldier.

A friend of mine has found that one of her ancestors was at Fort Albert Barracks at the time of the 1901 census. As he was born in Suffolk and was back in Suffolk at the time of the 1911 census, she's puzzled as to why he was in Alderney. Can anyone help, please?

US Completed Requests / Re: What is a presser?

Thanks everyone for your help. You've given me lots of avenues to explore. I think the most likely job was working on meat production as all the other records I can find list his occupation as a butcher/cattle dealer/farmer.

Thanks for all your replies. I think I need to investigate a bit further. Does anyone know if a presser could possibly be someone who processes pressed beef (or what we call corned beef in UK)?
