Holme Help - no pun intended!

[brer]

I've got many ancestors who were from Holme and have the baptism books for Almondbury.  I've looked through and pulled out all my KAYEs from Holme, but on the book that covers 1703-1727 there's no "Holme" given in any of the abodes - I'm looking for a John KAYE abt 1811. 

Does anyone know why this is?  Does it mean there's no one from Holme or is Holme disguised as somewhere else - I don't know where any of these places are - does anyone else?

Lane - Boothhouse - Austonley are in the Holmfirth / Holme area.

I know that in 1915 the little village of Holme, with only about one hundred houses and four hundred people, had one of the smallest Urban District Councils in the country, so presumably it was even smaller than this in the past.

I noticed Hoyle of Yorkshire at the bottom of your post, lots of Hoyle’s in Yorkshire I know, but by coincidence there was one at Boothhouse in 1918.

I have a map here showing Boothhouse, it seems there is a gallery there now, hence the map provided by the owners.  Also it shows, but not by name, the area known as Lane, which is on both sides of Upperthong Lane but mostly on the top side between Binns Lane, which is a blank space on this map.  Say from Saint John’s Church, Upperthong and vicarage down to the main Woodhead Road / Huddersfield Road.  The church is not on this map but it should show up on a larger map, but I don’t think you will see Lane mentioned these days.
