Hi again
Thanks again for your input and taking up your personal time to research this.
I have already come across the recordings of Pitt Royd in Silkstone in the Barnsley Archives, which is what confused us initially. We walked that locality and I think we found the place to be in the region of Kine Moor, Silkstone where there is a farm complex.
With the Thornhill Parish Registers, I applied the search button to find all Pitt Royd entries, whatever the family surname, and there are quite a few. It seems like the all locate it to the areas already discussed.
I feel confident the Netherton link is the one though. Next in line for research is to browse the Savile Estate records/archives for Pitt Royd/Hey links to be certain of my assumption, but I fear that is going to be along and arduous task, as I am little lost as to where to look specifically i.e. Rent books, Tennant lists etc., etc. These records are spread out over three different places, Huddersfield, Dewsbury and Nottingham!!
Again, thanks for your time on this Dobfarm. Appreciated
