I am trying to find the marriage of Joseph STRINGER to Abigail ?
I know that Joseph was baptised at Kirkburton in 1770, and suspect he was married at Kirkburton too but I only have the marriages at Kirkburton from 1793+.
Could anyone check the earlier records for him please?
Thank you

Hi there,
I have almondbury and Kirkheaton indexes.
Would they be any good.

Yes please! :D
Please would you look for Joseph STRINGER marrying an Abigail sometime after 1793 please?
Thanks

Hi Claire
I have listed for 1754-1799
St John,s Kirkheaton. four Joseph Stringer
but not Abigail. I have the Index marriages for 1754-1771
but no later. I have looked through Allhallows
Almondbury 1816-1822 and nothing there either.
also St. John Church Kirkheaton 1826-1837.
Perhaps someone has Kirkheaton 1800 -1826.
or Almondbury 1780-1816
Sandra
Have lots earlier if you need baptism and other
records census etc.

Thanks Sandra
It really is a mystery!
I have Kirkburton baptisms from 1686-1837 and marriages 1686-1837 and the majority of Almondbury indexes too but nothing later than 1837 and as you say they're not in there - it's frustrating! Thank you for checking Kirkheaton too.
:)
The mystery contiues!
Thanks again

Hi ,
I suppose you know that there are two different
spellings. One being Stringer and the other. Stringar
I typed in Abigail Stringar into the igi to see what would
come up and it turned out that Abigail is a male
son born to Jos. Stringar on the 16th April 1770
Kirkheaton. Is this a connection to your family.
the batch no PO12721 source call 0098535 print out
1235414. You could also try the ancestral file.

Hi Claire
I think we may be researching the same Stringer family. Joseph md Abigail Shaw at Kirkheaton on 22 Sept 1808. He was baptised at Kirkburton 5 Oct 1782, his parents were Joseph & Mary. Some of the family moved to Mottram in Longdendale in Cheshire. Joseph & Abigail's son James moved to Bardsley nr Oldham in Lancashire.
I'd be interested to know if there is any connection with your research.

I would be very interested in the church details you have for Kirkburton. My GG grandfather was born there and given the unusual name of Hezekiah - his surname being Sykes. His father was called Joseph. If you have any info I would be most appreciative

Hi Harmax
I've got access to the Kirkburton baptisms, marriages and burials. I've looked at the censuses (I can only find the family in 1861) and see that Hezekiah was born in abt 1844. Unfortunately my baptism records only go up as far as 1837. Do you know his mother's maiden name?
Joseph says he was born in 1817 in Lepton and there's a baptism on the IGI for a Joseph SYKES bap 15 Apr 1816 at Kirk Heaton with parents Josias and Sarah. This family is living in Kirk Heaton in 1841. Josias was bap in 1784 with father Joseph.
Josias was buried at Kirkheaton in 1852.

Thanks Claire, that's given me a really good start. I'd thought with a name as unusual as Hezekiah finding a bit more about him wouldn't be too difficult, but it's proving otherwise!!
