Hello all.
Due to fantastic help from people on previous posts, I've managed to move on.
I now ask for your kind help on the following.
I'm searching for descendants of my Great Grandfather.
John William Hirst. b.1878. Huddersfield.
He lived at Lee & Burleys yard and 33 Northumberland street, Huddersfield.
He Married Catherine Birmingham who sadly died and left him widowed.
He then remarried, with Lettie Earle, on 12th Jan 1912 at St Marks, Huddersfield.
They had many children:
William. b.1912. d.1912.
Willie. b.1913.
Jack Wellington. b.1915 (My Grandfather)
Lily. b.1917.
James. b.1918.
Violet. b.1920.
May. b.1921.
Ivy. b.1923.
Daisy. b.1924.
Harry. b.1927.
Cyril. b.1929.
Thomas. b.1930.
Joan. b.1931.
I'm looking to go as far back as possible on John William Hirst's ancestry.
I have uncertain information, that his father was James Hirst, and Mother Louisa Hirst.
Could any of you great folk help me on this one?
Much appreciated.

Your previous thread - http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=599574.new;topicseen#new
Have you checked freebmd for a birth for John William in Huddersfield and obtained a copy of his birth cert to confirm his parentage and mothers maiden name?
Have you found him on the 1881 census which is free to search at http://www.rootschat.com/links/0lfe/
I'm searching for descendants of my Great Grandfather.
Freebmd can again be used to look for marriage for the children and births for their children as Rootschat does not allow publication of details of any persons still living
-
His marriage cert to Catherine Birmingham gives Thomas Street as his address and James as his father as well.
Have saved the images if you want them
-
They also baptised Harry Atkinson Hirst on same day he was born 30 July 1879
-
The saved images would be great if you could send them, thank you.
How do you guys obtain this info?
I've been struggling for a while with little bits that i can't link together.
I've tried FreeBMD but its very limited sometimes.
Is there any record of the maiden name of Louisa, John Williams mother?
-
theres a marriage 1872 James Hirst and Louisa Whittaker possible bride in Huddersfield
Youll have to PM me your email address to send the images.
