Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Wesleyan Methodist Records in Bradford

I believe I found him!
He was baptised in Ardwick, (a mile and a bit from Bradford, Manchester). Apparently married into a Methodist family after starting off as C of E. 

Thanks all  ;D

Farish ... I missed that one! I have also found a soldier called Thomas Harvey at the Halifax Barracks in 1851, but no other record of him. (Added to the pile of possible fathers).

Hi chempat.

I've found no good match for any records, census or otherwise. Not even a solid match for his immigration. (I've been struggling with this one for many years). I'm starting to think there may have been an adoption, or his birth may have been registered under his mother's maiden name.

The transcript of his death certificate that I purchased says "Birthplace and length of residence in Australia: Bradford, England, 35 years". "Date of death: 30 September 1910, age 49".

The name of his father comes from the transript of his marriage certificate, (dated 11 April 1889) which includes "Age and condition of groom: 27 years, bachelor". Gooms occupation: farmer.

Hi all. First time user. Will someone be kind enough to do a search for me? I'm in Australia so can not yet to Bradford. Any record, birth, bapt, any record at all from there will be appreciated. ... Thomas William Harvey, born c1861 in Bradford England (to father Thomas William Henry Joseph Harvey). Moved to Australia c1875 (about 14 years old) and was married in a Baptist Church in South Australia in 1889, (where there were no witnesses named Harvey). (All this info comes from his marriage and death certificates).
