Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Little London Mirfield
« on: Wednesday 21 September 11 17:33 BST (UK)  »
A man called Rev Joseph Ismay was vicar of Mirfield Parish Church from 1740 - 1778. During that time, he apparently wrote many letters to friends. There are lots of extracts in a book called "A History of Mirfield" This was what he was quoted as saying about Little London:

"Near Lee Green Pits....... poor, mean cottages among the pits, with coals about their doors." The writer of the book (Pobjoy) goes on to say, "There seems to be no satisfactory explanation of this name for this triangular area still called Savile Place."

Not much more info, but if you look here, you might find more of interest:

Have you got Albert Edward on any of the censuses? Do you know anything about his parents? I'd have a look at the name Moyes/Moyses. The marriage  lizdb found could well be the right one. I came across one of mine a few weeks ago who had an additional surname when he married. It turned out that his mother had been widowed when he was very young, had remarried and he'd added the stepfather's surname as well as his own for his marriage.

Regards,

Can't find a marriage, but there are two baptisms in Sheffield that would fit.
Birth 9 Nov. 1821, bap. 17 Feb. 1872. Parents John & Mary. Father was a cutler.
Birth 20 Jan. 1823, bap. 2 Mar. 1823. Parents John & Sarah. Again father was a cutler!

Possibly Edward's father, William (b. abt 1805) is the brother of Benjamin?

According to the Home Page, the original church was built in 1773. That church was later demolished and the present building was put in its place in 1815. Not sure exactly when the burials date from, but some are from the early 1800s. Just thought it might be worth having a look.

Have you checked out this site?

You can search online for burials. There are numerous Hartleys with addresses etc. If you're lucky, there's a photo of the grave too.
