trying to work out hearth tax - shibden hall HALIFAX

[Anji15]

Hi sstarr thank you think its upper shibden hall just don't know how an why they left land to him don't think there's a family connection . Regards anji

[sstarr2008]

I would have thought that there is likely to be a family connection if he was left property in a will

[Anji15]

Don't think so , I wondered if it might have something to do with baby girl he married was having lol can't find family connection anji

Shibden Hall is a Tudor Mansion, Upper Shibden Hall and the other Shibden Hall's were houses  away from the main house but wiithin the boundary of the main house itself and shibden park. It lightly fell under the Northowram Ward as Halifax was split into wards at this time and is near to Stump Cross. Unlightly that it would have anything to do with Ovenden ward as it was far away and don't think the ward boundary would have gone that far.It is probably a reference to where he came from before or where he was born.
P.s. I live near halifax.

hi Anji,

Michael Stocks owned a great deal of property in and around the Northowram area. A lot of the land was leased out for coal mining, quarrying etc. In the Yorkshire Archives at Halifax library there is a booklet outlining his properties. It is dated about 1805 or close.
There is a great deal of information about theStocks family in Malcolm Bull's Calderdale Companion

including reference to the family living at Upper Shibden Hall.

Is Shibden Hall and Shibden Head (both Houses ) the same one? Shibden Head was in the Ambler family until 1732.  Also Hazelhurst Northowram just wondered what happened to them both.  Also Crownest Hipperholme.  My ancestors seem to have had quite a bit of land and property but then seemed to disappear.  Can anyone advise any history on these places.

Have a look at Calderdale Companion - Malcolm Bull has been working on this for years!
