Dransfield/Kilner Hoylandswaine

[lindamb]

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.

If C of E they could have married in Hoylandswaine where the church was built in 1865. Hoylandswaine was in the parish of Silkstone so they may have married in Silkstone Church. Thurlstone  was within the parish of Penistone. The church in Thurlstone wasn’t built until 1905. They could have married in Penistone church.

There were lots of non conformist churches in the area as well.

Some of the old parishes in that area were huge.

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. 

[Gibel]

I think Hoylandswaine records are still at the church. Penistone and Silkstone have a lot on line as part of the West Yorkshire records on Ancestry.

Dransfield is a local name in Penistone, I used to live there and when I was learning the history of the town it was Dransfield’s History of Penistone I was told to read. He was a local solicitor.

[lindamb]

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.

[Gibel]

There was a steel works in Springdale Penistone by the railway, so it’s possible your man worked there. Much later it was part of Cammell Laird. From Hoylandswaine it would have been a couple of miles or so to walk there.

I see in the 1891 census he was a labourer at a umbrella makers. This would have been Samuel Fox just up the road in Millhouse Green.
