Thank you Rosie, I did find them on the 1939 Register.  I've also sent queries to some local libraries regarding death notices in newspapers.

Thank you for your replies.  I do have James and Mary Ann's children:  Joseph Ernest b1901, James Alfred b1903, Gladys b1912 and Sydney G. b1915.

I had tried a site with burial/cremation records for cemeteries around Ashton-in-Makerfield but found nothing.  Newspapers would be great, does anyone know how I could access them from here (I'm in Australia).  Perhaps a local library?  Death notice could give me more family details too.

Thanks again,
Janice.

I hope that I'm doing this right!

I can't find what happened to James Alfred Rickard died 2 December 1952 in Ashton-in-Makerfield.  His wife Mary Ann nee Stubbs died 18 January 1967 in Eccles if this helps.

They had about four children but can't find any info. on them.

Regards,

Janice.

A very big thank you to everyone who helped me with my search for the Layfield's and Mullender's.  I am making progress at last!  Where would we be without sites like this?

Kindest Regards,

Janice.

 Hello Sandra,
At last I have a reply from the Leeds City Council.  They did a search for a fee of the Yorkshire Evening Post and sent me a copy of Betsy Jane Layfield's death notice.  She was cremated at Lawnswood.  I have already put in a query with Lawnswood about the family but did not mention the Mullender's as I didn't want to push it.

Thanks again for all your help.

Kindest Regards,
Janice.

 Hello Sandra & Ian,

Well I got nowhere with my enquiries to Leeds City Council or Farnley Hall for any of the Layfield's or Mullender's.  They are not at Cottingley, Beeston, Holbeck or Hunslett Cemeteries.
I think my only hope now is the newspapers, would either of you know which paper would cover Parkfield Row Leeds in 1963 when Betsy Jane Layfield died as hers is the only death date that I have.
Kind Regards,
Janice.

Hi Sandra,

It may take a few weeks, but I shall certainly let you know the outcome.

To Sandra & Ian,

I have rung Farnley Hall and asked about Betsy Jane, husband Albert Edward & son Albert Heap Layfield.  I didn't like to push it, so didn't press for any info on Elsie & Edward J.F. Mullender.  I am to ring back in three weeks or so.

I tried the Friends of Holbeck Cemetery, and though they were unable to help Elsie Tidwell gave me the site for Leeds Council, so I sent an email requesting info on all the "rellie's".

Thanks again to you both for your help and finding Elsie and her husband Edward for me.  I have been searching for Betsy Jane for about 15 years, so it is marvellous to be getting some answers at last.
Kindest Regards,

Janice.
