Many thanks for this great new resource.  What treasure trove. I can see me spending hours going through all the info, but right now it's bedtime.

According to White's Directory of 1857, Henry De Paiva was a woollen yarn spinner, situated at Walkley Lane, so perhaps De Paiva Lane was in that vicinity. Walkley Lane runs from Beck Lane towards Dewsbury.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: birstall, batley

Hi Neko,

Littletown is in the valley, between Heckmondwike and Cleckheaton and Hightown is about a mile up the hill from Cleckheaton.  Birstall is about two miles from Batley . Littletown and Hightown would be about 4 to 5 miles from Batley. hope this helps.

The Common Room / Re: What kind of building is this and where??
« on: Tuesday 20 March 07 05:26 GMT (UK)  »
It look as though it was originally a church or maybe a private chapel.  There are crosses on the doors and what I think was the sanctuary rail still in place. At first I thought it has been converted to a museum but on second thoughts it does give the appearance of being lived in.  Looking at the roof, wonder if it could have been in a crypt, though that doesn't fit with the idea of being lived in.  No idea where it is, but it's certainly an intriguing photo

Shropshire / Re: what district
« on: Tuesday 06 February 07 09:26 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I did not send for either of these certificates. They are copies which are dated 1944 & 1948.  All I can tell you is that both refer to the sub district of Dawley in the Registration District of Wellington.  I did look on Genuki which says that the Wellington district records are now in the Telford and Wrekin District.  Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Good luck.

Don't know if this will help, but I have two births in Dawley, 1875 and 1903, and both certificates show Wellington, Salop as the registration district.

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: KERR to Auckland
« on: Wednesday 02 August 06 05:40 BST (UK)  »
Apparently you cannot access the webpage on this link (I tried it), so I will tell you how I got to it.   Go tohttp://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~nzbound/lists.htm.   Under Auckland heading click on " Auckland area inward passengers"  This will take you to search page for name of ship and immigrant.   Hope this works okay

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Suicide in Liversedge
« on: Thursday 03 February 05 04:52 GMT (UK)  »
The local newspaper would have been the Spenborough Guardian but I don't know where the archives are held. However the paper is still going strong, the address is:
1, Market Street, Cleckheaton, West Yorkshire, BD 19 3RT.
so they may be able to help. Sorry I don't know their email address.  Joan
