I have three Joseph Sandfords :

Joseph and Hannah with their children Samuel (b 1807) and Tedbar (b 1811) living at Wooldale, then Cartworth.

Joseph (wife unknown) with his son William (b1822) living at Wooldale.

Joseph (wife unknown) with his son Nathan (b 1824) living at Wooldale

I have been trying to determine if at least two are one and the same Joseph but there is nothing on the IGI. Wooldale is on the Kirkburton side of the river so does anyone have access to records from Kirkburton to try and resolve this.

Thank you.

Luke Noble married Hannah Kilner at Elland on 28 Jun 1848.

Luke gives his age as 32 in 1851, 42 in 1861, 52 in 1871, 64 in 1881 and 74 in 1891.

According to the marriage record on familysearch, Luke gives his father as Thomas Garside and states he is a widower.

There is a baptism of a Luke Noble at Elland on 6 Oct 1816; mother Betty Noble, a spinster. There is also a baptism a Luke Noble at Elland on 3 Oct 1819; parents Luke Noble and Martha.

There is a marriage of a Luke Noble to Rachel Hayes at Elland on 15 Aug 1842 with his father given as Luke. I presume this is not the Luke that married Hannah Kilner in 1848; he must be the son of Betty

First of all, can anyone find a Luke Noble in the 1841 census.

I must also be missing the first marriage of the Luke Noble, son of Betty so any suggestions welcome please.

I also 'lose' one of Luke and Hannah's children and another of their children's husband later on but I'll post if we can resolve the correct Luke.

Thank you.

Ernest Houghland married Florence (I think Rowan) in 1890 and they are living at Brightside Bierlow in 1891.

I have found a baptism for their eldest child, William, on the family search beta site on 28 Oct 1891. However, the baptism place is given as Wicker.

I know there is a Wickersley near Rotherham but it does make sense for this to be the same place so does anyone know where Wicker is?

Thank you.

There were four George Kenworthys:

George, baptised at Penistone on 16 Sep 1858, s/o Samuel Kenworthy and Mary.

George, baptised at Thurgoland on 31 Jul 1859, s/o Henry Kenworthy and Jane.

George, baptised at Barnsley on 30 Dec 1860, s/o George Kenworth and Ann.

George, baptised at Penistone on 18 Aug 1861, s/o William Kenworthy and Ann.

One of these went off to the USA and possibly married his first cousin.

One married Sarah Senior with the marriage being registered in the Barnsley civil district in the March quarter of 1880.

I know it is a lot to ask but is it possible for someone to check on the 1880 marriage to determine the father of the George who married Sarah Senior.

Thank you.

Cornelius Hoyle and Emma Scargill are my GG Grandparents; their son John is my Great Grandfather and I have his birth certificate. He was born on 7 Jun 1862 at Bottoms, Heckmondwike. The family lived at Shelley up to the 1851 census, were in Heckmondwike in the 1861 census and then back in Shelley in the 1871 census where they remained.

I looked at the new pilot/beta family search web site. John Hoyle, parents Cornelius Hoyle and Emma, born 11 Jun 1862; baptised 11 Oct 1862 at Salterhebble, which is near Halifax.

I then looked at some of their other children:

George, born 21 Jul 1860 at Emley; baptised 11 Oct 1862 at Salterhebble

John (above)

Arthur, born 7 Oct 1866 at Shelley; baptised 11 Oct 1862 at Salterhebble

Mary Ann, born 7 May 1869; baptised 8 Aug 1869 at Salterhebble

Ada, born 1871 at Shelley but I couldn't find her baptism

Annie, born 26 Jun 1873 at Shelley; baptised 13 Sep 1874 at Salterhebble

Lilly, born 1884 at Shelley; baptised 13 Apr 1884 at Salterhebble

I looked at genuki and there is a Methodist Chapel at Salterhebble but why, why, why on earth would the family go from Shelley to near Halifax to baptise their children?

I can only think there is an error on the pilot web site but then why would such an error be repeated many times?

Any thoughts, suggestions and comments are most welcome because I am confused!

Thank you.
