I'd be grateful for a good source of birth/christening for my direct ancestor George Boothroyd b. Wakefield 1836.

His marriage certificate of 1862 in Southwark London gives a father "John" but I cannot place him directly with him in Yorkshire - however I have got him with Job and Mary Boothroyd at the age of 5 in Kirkles Hall and they come up as parents of John (born in Sandal Magna & married to Elizabeth White).

This would make a concrete link to a long line of Boothroyds going back to Almondbury in 1500s so is a key link.

Kind regards

That looks spot on thank you so much! Job, John's father and George were all gardiners to begin with so that fits too!

Happy holidays TG

Thank you TG

I see John and Elizabeth are living Westgate Common in 1841 - John a grocer and gardener

Hi

Kirklees Hall is at Hartshead and was in the ownership of the Armytage family. This family had lands all over the area and Kirklees Hall is near to the place were Robin Hood is supposed to have died and he is said to be buried in it's grounds.

Regards
John

This is such good news - I now have basic details of the male line going back to Elizabeth I - am hoping to do a tree for my "big" brother who is 60 this year. I have loads of baptism and marriage dates & names for the line all based in Almondbury - is there a good CD/online source that I could flesh out the picture with occupations etc?

My brother did one of the Ancestry DNA mapping things and looks like Dad's line is Viking - the area was well known for textiles which chimes for us - but that was more a Saxon-based role originally, so it would be great to see what is there - so far gardeners, shoemakers only.

Have about 10 names to look up x Again really appreciate your expertise! TG

Hi

You are very welcome

If you stuck with the names you could always post them and see what we can come up with.

Not sure what kind of CD etc you mean - sorry being a little slow here

Hi Trowergirl

I have a lot of Almondbury resources, so if you supply me with names and dates of events I can probably find some occupations, places where they lived etc, possibly even a photo of a signature (or a wobbly cross if they could only make a mark!)

Regards,

Lesley
