Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Dransfield/Kilner Hoylandswaine
« on: Wednesday 22 July 20 17:30 BST (UK)  »
It looks like my George Dransfield was born in Thurlstone and lived there til the 1891 census, moved to Hoylandswaine before the 1901 census, where he was a steel worker. I'm trying to find more about his wife, Mary Kilner, but that is such a common name in the area it's hard finding the right one. It turns out that Kilner in Hoylandswaine is common to my maternal and paternal lines, although it's never been mentioned in the family.

Thank you all. When things change I hope to get back to South Yorkshire and look for some of these records. I don't know if Hoylandswaine church has any records or if they are at Barnsley or Wakefield offices.

wow, thank you very much to JamJar and to CaroleW, I'll have to print that lot off and look at them closely. Thank you for your time.
I had found a Mary Kilner living with, I assume, her mum Janet and step dad and family, the Chappells, in the 1891 census. didn't know if this was the right Mary Kilner. That page of the 1891 census has so many Kilners and Chappells.
In 1881 mum seems to be Jennett, suppose spelling wasn't a major thing in those days. 
Jennett seems to be a lodger of the Seniors in 1871, with her eldest Annie.
Can now look further into these and look for the marriage cert for George Dransfield and Mary for Mary's family.

It was my cousin who thought it was Mary Jane, but when I cross referenced the marriage indexes I found that George married Mary not Mary Jane. I'm going to have to get the marriage certificate to confirm what I think. If she's the right one,  I've found her in the 1891 census she's living with her mum and the family have adopted the name of Chappell, although I haven't found a marriage for her mum yet. Thanks for your time and help

Thank you for the speedy reply. That is the info I have but my cousin seems to think Mary was Mary Jane Kilner from family of Arthur Kilner . I'm descended from Lena and  Frank Burkinshaw.

I've found the marriage of George Dransfield and Mary kilner in the Marriage indexes at Wortley district, in the first quarter of 1895 but can't work out which Mary this is, there are a few at the time. I've tried to look up the church from the look up from the references, but it doesn't identify a church from these - vol 9c, page 320. Does anyone know the churches in this area who could try and find the parish registers, to find Mary's family. Thank you
