Good morning all...
I'm new to the forum but not to family history, I have been researching my Bickerdike family for the past ten years.
My oldest ancestor is William BICKERDIKE b 1801 married to Elizabeth B(R)IGGS and lived in Brayshaw Fold, Low Moor, Bradford from at least 1839. Most Bickerdikes were in the Leeds andeast of Leeds area very few were in Bradford
Two of his sons moved to Wortley in Leeds to work in the iron foundry there where I think they helped populate the area though William Jnr moved to Churwell to get some fresh air as a market gardener at Lincroft Farm. One of his sons, Early Bickerdike, moved to Morley where he and his wife had three children one of which was my grandfather Amos William Bickerdike. The family moved into Batley where Amos married Nelly Clayton. They had two sons John and my father Allan, my father was a merchant seaman and later a pub landlord in Ravensthorpe, Dewsbury.
I was born in Thornhill Lees but have lived most of my life in Ravensthorpe.
I'd love to hear from any Bickerdike researchers as we are few and far between.

Welcome to RootsChat suentimb,
I'm not a Bikerdike researcher but I know of a site that might be of interest
http://www.sblha.com/sblha.html
The site includes BMDs MIs etc from the Low Moor area many are in the process of transcription. I did notice some Briggs on there.
Have you placed your names in the Surname Interests tables ?

There were a good few of them there for quiet a while before they moved to the Hunslet/ Bingley area of Leeds just before 1900.
I would be more than greatful for help with this family.

My great gran was a Bickerdyke born not far away from me. Look up on the Ancestry site and in the search section - put in Howard Bickerdyke born Leeds 1900 + or - 5 years. You will find the Sutcliffe Hotel in Burley belonging to great uncle Howard and it may also lead you to Margaret Creek who has all our male relatives. She knows much more than me - but I can tell you about part of the female side and their spouses.

Hi...
Thanks for your contact, much appreciated. I already am in contact with Margaret, she has done a fantasic job collating the Bickerdike info on her site.
Cheers

Hi Suentimb,
Just a note to say that your Dad served me many a pint back in the late 1970's, early 1980's
You will remember Jack (whistling Window cleaner & barman) Kelly.
What a character he was!

I have a Mary Ann Bickerdyke, age 20, born Leeds, popping up in the 1881 census with with my family. It states she is a 'step daughter' to Joseph Milner.
Mary Ann's mother is Rose Hannah nee Armitage. Rose I believed married twice, 1st to John Campbell, 2nd Joseph Milner.
Not sure whether it's Mary Ann's married name or her mother Rose married a Bickerdyke.
I think Mary Ann's maiden surname is Campbell and she was born after the 1861 census.

my ggg-grandmother Ellen Bickerdike was born c 1808 in Sherburn-in-Elmet.
She married Wiiliam Hayes in Sherburn in 1830, he was born c 1800 in Kippax
I have a copy of the marriage entry but there is no mention of father for either Ellen of William.
....
an update to the details I posted on my gtgtgt-grandmother Ellen Bickerdike - I recently double checked the places of birth for her on the census returns :
1841 : Living in Sherburn-in-Elmet, place of birth 'in county'
1851 : pob Skelton, Yorkshire, England
1861 : pob Sherburn, Yorkshire, England
1871 : pob Skelton, Yorkshire, England
In 1871 Ellen is a widow & head of household, so I suspect that may be her actual place of birth. There seems to be several places named Skelton in Yorkshire .. would the one near York be closest, and a likely location for Ellen's family ?

Drop me a message
My great Grandmother was Ida Bickerdike (1895 - 1988) from Yorkshire, and my Great Aunt her daughter is still alive and well - I do have a family tree if you wish - only back to William Bickerdike 1822 but I am not following that Lineage too much. My grandmothers sister went to Canada and used to send me Canadian dollars, which I still have
