Help identifying Halifax Coy. 1851

[ShaunJ]

It's more than 10 years since you started this thread, Dave. Must be some sort of record!

Ancestry.co.uk and under Parish, then West Yorkshire C of E Deaths and Burials 1813-1985.  I just looked for Joseph Bradley, 1859.

I thought I had put this one to bed then had a reply this morning which set me off again. Some much needed tidying up of my files now sorted. I have his date of birth, baptism, marriages, death and burial. He was enlisted in the 7th Royal Fusiliers perhaps on 2 occasions? they were in Halifax 1848 - 1850.
He worked as a weaver and perhaps an overlooker in a Wooling Mill [sic] There was a nearby place called Cheelham where there were fulling and woolen mills. I am happy to leave it at that unless you good people can come up with anything else .......
Thanks again

I would suggest that either the transcription of the MI is incorrect or the person who ordered the headstone got the date of death wrong. 

[BumbleB]

Have you looked at genuki for Yorkshire - it's pretty comprehensive on place names, although I can't readily see Cheelham.

And there's the fount of Calderdale knowledge - Malcolm Bull.

Re "Cheley" I'm with Dillybert's theory (Reply#11) that the sentence continues on the inserted line above. So not "Cheley" but Chelsy as in pensioner. He was definitely receiving a Chelsea out-pension.

[dave the tyke]

Yes I can go with Chelsea written on the line below and pensioner above ShaunJ.
BumbleB I don't think I need to go anywhere else with the dates. It looks as if there was a mis-transcription of the headstone or wrong wording on the headstone. Either way I have the correct dates now sourced by GRO and King Cross burial record.
