Royd Pitts, nr Netherton or Thornhill, Yorkshire
« on: Sunday 29 July 18 07:56 BST (UK) »
I am currently looking through Thornhill parish registers for my husband's Hey ancestors.

By 1770 the family's abode was usually given as Netherton, but earlier records for the family give the abode as Pitt Royds or Pitt Royd.

Can anyone enlighten me where this is/was? Google searches for Pitt Royd/s come up with transcriptions of Thornhill PRs, so not helpful.

Whilst I can't readily see Pitt Royds, this old map of the area might be of interest to you.

I tried that yesterday - no mention of Pitt Royd(s) or Royd Pitt :-\

This is an older map of the area.  You can change the view to full page.  Lots of the pits have been named, so perhaps  :-\

Thank you for you replies.

Still can't find it anywhere, but willsmum (thank you) has told me that it was only this Hey family that used the address Pitt Royd/s, plus one isolated baptism, so it must have been personal to them, and as such, I am perhaps unlikely to find out where it was.

The maps are a marvellous resource, I have used them before.

Thanks again for your efforts.

Dear Margaret
I see you have been unsuccessful in locating Pitts Royd or similar. I have located one in Silkstone via this web site:http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/a19130d1-24a3-4713-b45f-a1c2786b1bde, the records held by Barnsley Archives. I did pinpoint this address, but have forgotten how I arrived at this. It was located on Kine Moor Lane, Silkstone. We ( my brother and I ) have also had the same issue as we are also researching the Hey family. Interestingly though the Heys did reside at two locations near Silkstone, Hallroyd near Silkstone Common, and Norcroft near Cawthorne.
I hope the above information has been of help to you. 

Regards

Michael

Just to add to my earlier message I posted to yourself, we are also researching the Hey's of Thornhill/Netherton too and are finding it difficult to find a connection! Confusing as there is a Pitt Royd in Silkstone!
