I have a marriage between a....
Alice Hanks bp 9.7.1848 (igi) Campsall yorks, father, Richard Hanks, Fenwick Yorks
Charles Firth, age unknown or where ....they were married on the 4 . 2 . 1867..at
St Marys church Barnsley (igi).
I know alices family but not charles, I know nothing and am after his father
that would be on the marriage record, I know that the info is from the igi and needs to be checked, but have found
the igi to be fairly accurate, so am hoping that the dates are true, if the bp date for Alice is correct she was about 19
when married.....mick

Hve you found the couple in 1891, or 1881 (free to search) to find an approx yr of birth and place of birth for him?
-
No , sorry Lizdb, i tried the 71 and 81 but to no avail, because I did not know charles origin that did not help, and the lack of age /parent,
I have know way of knowing if this was his 1st or 2nd marriage, and as barnsley was a melting pot at the time, so he could have come from anywere...mick
-
But you know Alice's - and they were married before 1871.
Having said that, I cant see them in 1871!

Hi Mick
Ok! You have the marriage date 4th Feb 1868 at St Mary church Barnsley.
Barnsley Library should be able to send a copy of the marriage register entry for about £2 P&P with SAE or less (See their web page) it will be exactly the same as the certificate.

Good question
John Firth Will index -parish burials Death/burial-Barnsley MI's
use old IGI family search also the IGI beta website
-Hugh Wallis IGI website For Charles bapt or birth Freebmd website
Rotherham and Wakefield overlap Barnsley also Ecclesfield, Wortley and Penistone should also be concided
-
Thanks one will look into that...
regarding the old IGI a few years ago I pulled a whole surname from northants and got entire families on the pedigree..birth/christ/some marriages death and burial, but i tried again lately to check on something and they had vanished, I put this to my bro who is a mormon elder to find out where they had gone/removed, and is in the process of, so watch this space....
-
Hi Mick
Being baptised C of E (Non practicing) I'm not up on Mormon In's and outs but have heard that! they have to go back 6 family generations as members for the church, as all things in life under pressure of! and the poor records BMD on limited info pre 1837 parish registers, alot of early submissions were open to error (1950's - ish) With access more open now!! to all in repositories on & off line and computer access! these old submissions ancestral errors show up more now. LDS has taken a lot of stigma or ribbing over them and may have removed the ones they think maybe or are incorrect.

High Hoyland is a village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley in South Yorkshire, England, on the border with West Yorks

..................
JOHN FIRTH
Spouse: MARY WOODHEAD
Marriage: 03 JUN 1839 St Mary, Barnsley, Yorkshire, England
........................................................
John Firth buried aged 45 1856 High Hoyland
Look like Mary Woodhead may have been from St Marys Parish Bransley and John from High Hoyland parish they lived early day in Barnsley or High Hyland after marriage or both at different times in their married life.? Maybe

Not exactly Barnsley area*** ??? above!!! are you sure 1867 Barnsley marriage is the right one?
This Charles in the Barnsley marriage 1867 was 25 = born 1842 -----NOT 1846

Morning.. I was chasing out an Alice Hanks to see if and who she might have married or even died, I found the connection through the freebmd, its the only one, the problem I found at first was when linking to the partner you get 2/3 or more to choose from, with a proccess of elimination I got a match to Charles Firth, and refined the date for the marriage, then worked back to there beginings, alice was Bp in campsall and it was reasonable to assume that Charles was from that area, the igi came up with a Charles firth but in 1843, as Alice was registerd for 1848 and married in 1867 she was only 19, so it seems as I cannot find real good match for Charles I am running with him, but if other can find a better match I will have to go with it my problem is I live on the south coast so going to record offices in yorkshire to do research first hand , I have use what is to hand and anyhelp I can get ie RootsChat...........mick
-
I tell a lie just be back into the igi and there is another charles ...3 may 1846 Fish lake yorks out of a Margaret firth, thats a better fit, who pappy is not clear, there a cluster of children all down to Margaret, no fathers name, one has to rely on the igi to tell the truth and not guess or there abouts sort of thing, I have tried to back the info from them with hard facts but not always possible...mick
ps Thoughts please
-
OK! Mick.
All looks interesting but to simplify? can you give us rough idea of your ancestry route back from say 1911 c back from to Alice Hanks b 1848 :) (for Identity theft reasons!!! give nothing later than 1911c) Location/abodes of Alice's forbears and sisters/brothers etc if you have come up from a sister or brother to Alice from your ancestor time tree line.
Your coming up to Alice Hanks b 1848 then sideways into her marriage and husbands unknown ancestry! and siblings down from the Alice Hanks marriage.
is this correct?

Hi Mick
Going by your info it look like the 1871 census is the right Family.
Charles lied about his age on the marriage if the library told me correct ?
-
HI Mick
I phoned Barnsley Library and they said as follows
Marriage 4 Feb 1867
St Mary Barnsley
Charles Firth- aged 25- Bachelor - Residence Barnsley town centre-Father John - (Deceased)

They will send you a copy for full info- re;- their website conditions
The WYA data will be launched on Ancestry at the end of June.
Barnsley registers are also with the West Yorkshire data. I wonder if Barnsley will still maintain their stance re the photocopying of marriages after 1837 when the data will be available on Ancestry anyway.

Morning Tuppie, the other side of the coin with all the staff cost cutting that is going on, and the money coming through the library for copies etc is reduced because of Ancestries actions, access to these place will be much reduced, I lost a good access point in Guildford for surrey research and have to go to woking now I might as well go to kew its not far on and better parking for a start....mike

I had not realised Barnsley was on WYAS registers! being South Yorkshire! Therefore Huddersfield library will have Barnsley St Mary and they don't work under WYAS rules. Will send copy of the event for pee nuts cost.

Thanks dobby i'll look into that.mike

Hi again
You know how as one does! (Us lads) waking up in the night and realising Raquel Welsh was only a dream! so got up for a cupa!
I looked at the 1881 census on LDS family search, realised Charles and daughter eldest Ann Firth b 1867 were not living with Alice and her sibling in Barnsley!
There is a Charles and Daughter Ann Firth living in Leeds 1881 c both about right ages! but this Charles was born Bradford and Ann was born somewhere different to the 1871c. but worth checking it out! Mick

Hi
Huddersfield library has/have all that is on this list and nonconformist also some Lancashire on Micro film/fiche
http://www.archives.wyjs.org.uk/documents/archives/Collections%20Guide%201.pdf
Kirklees WYAS is in the same room at Huddersfield Library but unlike Barnsley and other archives the local studies library is completely separate. Also all the Mi's Cemetery records and YAS Books records are all under the library. The archive do work with the library on an informal level though! as all WYSA Catalogue Books and other stuff! are brought into the library on a trolleys when the WYAS Kirklees office is closed.
The HFHS at the Rootscellar Meltham Huddersfield have all WYAS PRs and Noncoformist PR's Micro film fiche and some Lancs Registers on micro film as well (Copies 20p) and they work in conjunction with all WYAS archives, Huddersfield Library and YAS letting them have all there records on a swop for swop base also work with Borthwick York uni! York uni Library! and Huddersfield Uni Library (These Repositories are awesome)

when researching you seem spoilt for choice ..........

Not to highjack your thread, but I have a FIRTH connection I'll throw out, just in case we can make a connection.
My Charles Henry FIRTH was b. 1865 in Worsbrough. He married my great-great-aunt, Agnes Stanier or Stoneyer (CROSSLAND) in Barnsley in 1887. I have a copy of a newspaper clipping about their 50th wedding anniversary -- with lovely wee pictures :-) It says Charles was born in Taylor Row ("now George Street"), Worsboro Dale. The couple moved to Sheffield Road in Birdwell. It doesn't name his parents, but he's living with a John & Emma in the 1881 census of Worsbrough.
Charles and Agnes had nine children, but as of the 1937 article, only five daughters and 1 son were living. I want to track down the kids someday ... think one was named Maurice or Morris, and another was Ethel. Some of Agnes' siblings came here to America -- I have info on some of them (as well as her ancestors).
Cheers,
~JudyLynn
