Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Att Scamp1234 Lookup Please
« on: Wednesday 21 October 09 10:17 BST (UK)  »
Hi John,

Thanks for hanging in. I have been able to obtain some Baptism records for the children of Thomas and Elizabeth which have all been Anglican as was their marriage. I hope that this may help.

Hi Churchwarden,

Nice to find someone researching the same family, I will message you regarding the research rather than post it here.

Regards,
Wilf

Hi Scamp,

I am ok with information from Crook it is Low Moor Yorkshire that is causing me grief.
In 1861 Thomas stated he was 50 and born Low Moor Yorkshire, he then died 12/10/1861 in Crook Durham aged 51 which would suggest his birth was probably 1810 not 1811 as I thought. Anything you can find from Low Moor will be gratefully received.

Regards
Wilf

Hi Scamp,

I have very little information on Thomas other than his calculated birth year of 1811 from the censuses. It would be great if you could look a couple of years each side to see if there are siblings. His son John Jobling Harwood was baptised in St Catherine's Church Crook 1848 so Church of England would be my guess.

Thank you
Wilf

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Andrea and Shirl.
I ordered the tape for Low Moor from the local LDS but when it arrived it was for York not Yorkshire and had no Harwoods at all. Subsequent searching of the LDS online library has drawn a blank regarding Yorkshire  even Osmotherley shows only as Lancashire or York. I have an old English road directory here and it shows Low Moor as just below Bradford as Genuki described so my next step will be posting a request to scamp1234.

Regards

Hi Shirl,

Thanks for the advice - I will post there as well. Do you know where the public can access the registers or copy there of, I am intending to visit Yorkshire next year and would like to view the records if they are available - I do realise I would need to book well in advance.

Regards,
Wilf

Hi casalguidi

The first 2 and last 5 children do not appear in the IGI but Sarah B 6/4/1845 Batch C046841, Jesse B 10/1/1847 same batch, James B 23/12/1848 Film 446237 and Harriet B 27/10/1850 Film 446235 do, hence my request to Betty. The extract of birth I referred to came from the GRO for 7 pounds - I beleive it is a copy of the birth register - I don't know of a birth certificate - all surviving documents are in my possession.

Thanks for your interest and help
Wilf
