hello   I have a former Ann Crabtree she married my great---granddad havnt bothered to see which one, not sure of where she lived before, but I surmise that she lived in either at  Outlane or Barkisland and I believe that her dad was also a beer sellar in Barkisland, both are in Dean Head and her name was then Ann Marsden and she died Nov 25th 1872 and William died Feb 13th 1882,   Ann was 64 yrs and William was 73yrs. they are both at the bottom opposite the church door. there are a few graves with the same name of Marsden in that bottom section  one has some broken iron railings at low level with a rounded top . I think that they now have a disc of all graves in the church yard,   the grave with the iron railings has a grave of a William and he was drowned in  mystery in the local catchment reservoir this is under the new res that is the M62 Wall, I have some paper work of the event, if you live locally I can meet with you and if you want a copy you can have one ,  so I could be related we have just lost my brother in December suddenly, went for a news paper went home put his glasses on walking to his chair, bang on the floor dead only 61 and walked everywhere, keep in touch if you want to no problem   keith

hi from plum I am probably related to you , but I will have to find time to go thro the marsden family tree, from memory my grt grt grt granddad was William marsden  and he married -ann crabtree. William brn 1810@deanhead and ann brn 1809 I think in either scammonden or barkisland and her parents farmers and a publican just up the road from barkisland church and its possible that William was at the same place in 1834 and in 1845  he is in the directory for barkisland as a beer seller/farmer of slack, my memory is a bit slack it used to be very good but age is taking over77now,  if you are in the local area that you are talking about  give me a ring and we can get together, there is also a bit further back  a hirst as well we have graves in dean head and barkisland churches plum     07976515892

hi from plum there is a sunny bank across the road from the school that you are on about. if you go up the road across from the school until you get to a point that you have to turn left or right turn right and park up the car and walk across the road and look over the wall there is a large hous that was painted black and white the last time I was in that area, the house is called sunny bank plum.

 hi from plum    I don't remember the royal theatre being called the essoldo this was a place in sowerby bridge and it was called the regent cinema and then went to a bingo hall called the essoldo not the essolda, the rest I can't help. plum
