Hi folks,
With Flockton, Thornhill and Emley being discounted, (thanks Diane), I have to ask you grumpyblondie, if you checked the Kirkburton records for Matthew's birth?  If you haven't, would you do that for me please?
I do thank you for the Joseph Dawson info, birth 6 Jan. 1779, at Lepton, and marriage 2 Dec. 1811 at Kirkburton, they are both possibles.
Lepton is not too far from Emley nor Kirkburton I believe.
Fingers crossed,
John

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Dawson in Emley, Thornhill, look up please
« on: Thursday 15 November 07 11:49 GMT (UK)  »
Hi folks,
Can anyone help me locate the parents and ancestors of Matthew Dawson b. 1815 in Flockton, Thornhill or Emley?  His father was called Joseph Dawson and may have come from Emley.
Matthew married Charlotte Barstow b. circa 1815.  They had children Francis (from Charlotte's previous marriage) b. 1832,   John b. 1844, Emma b. 1850, Charlotte b. 1856,  Benjamin b. 1859 and Arthur b. 1864.
Ever hopeful,  John.

Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Bennett Woodsetton circa 1821
« on: Saturday 10 November 07 12:04 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there,
I am seeking to locate David Bennett born circa 1821 Woodsetton, Staffs.  He married Maria (Jones I think), in 1848 at Kingswinford.  They had children David, Thomas, Henry, Sarah, James and George. 
Can anyone find David's birth details and parents for me?
Thank you.
John

Hi Diane,

Yes, it is great news re: my James Firth family. 

I've learned a lot these past few days about my ancestors.  Thanks to you, and to Jill, Christine, Anna, Scribles, et al.  I've a lot to digest, then hopefully this info will lead me to expanding my ancestral net further.

Many thanks folks!

Thank you so much for your help.  I will have to chase up James Firth in Thornhill somehow but for now I'll look forward to hearing about my Mountain connections some time in the future. 

Many thanks.

John

Major Firth married Hannah Clegg in Mirfield Parish Church, October 1815 I believe.

I would try Thornhill first but truthfully am unsure.

Thanks again Scribbles,

The Mountain connection is new to me so any info on them is most welcome.   

Having concentrated on my Firth lineage I successfully managed to trace back to my 2X Gr. grandfather Henry Firth b. circa 1818 Mirfield, son of Major Firth and Hannah Clegg married 1815.  I believe Henry had siblings: Elizabeth 1816, Harriet 1820, Samuel 1822, Joesph 1824 and Mary 1827.

Unfortunately other than knowing Major's parents are James Firth and Elizabeth? I cannot help with the info request.

I do appreciate your help,

J4FIRTH
