Hi Nick,
I also think that Martha North and John Cockin are my ancestors through their daughter Sarah.
Like you I got bogged down because there were just too many possibile Marthas.

In case it's any help I can tell you a few of the places that I know of that the Norths lived.
Bank End farm, Dalton but right on the boundary with Almondbury

Quarry Hill,bottom of Almondbury,Somerset Road, Penistone Road area and on boundary with Kirkheaton

Cold Royd , Dalton but border with Kirkheaton

Almondbury Bank, Kidroyd, Moldgreen possibly same dwelling or very close to each other, on boundary Almondbury and Dalton which is Kirkheaton parish

The fact that I have found three separate North family connections shows how common the name is in my area.

Thanks very much for that Kay

I agree that the old maps appear to show the hall near to the working mens club, now sadly gone, I spent many a night playing snooker in there.
However George Redmonds (RIP) the making of Huddersfield  and the Minters book Discovering old Huddersfield show the building over the road which also agrees with british listed buildings which says that the address is 175 to 179 Rawthorpe Lane.
Nether Hall was further on where the riding school is.

I live in Huddersfield and so far as I know nobody actually died in any air raids in Huddersfield during WW2 so perhaps he was living somewhere else at the time.
