Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: SYKES HONLEY, MELTHAM, MOSSLEY

Hi

My Sykes start in Lepton, west yorkshire (so far as I've been able to trace back), with Joseph (b. 1827) and his wife Hannah.  Their son Hezekiah (1844 - 1882) was born in High Burton West Yorkshire and their daughter Matgaret (1879) married Arthur Dobson - my G Granddad.

Are there any links with your Sykes at all?

Thanks Claire, that's given me a really good start.  I'd thought with a name as unusual as Hezekiah finding a bit more about him wouldn't be too difficult, but it's proving otherwise!!

My Sykes line starts in Lepton in about 1817 with Joseph and follows through his son Hezekiah, who married Sarah and their daughter Mary (who had a sister Martha) married my G Granddad Arthur Dobson.  If your line matches any of this I would love to hear from you.

I would be very interested in the church details you have for Kirkburton.  My GG grandfather was born there and given the unusual name of Hezekiah - his surname being Sykes.  His father was called Joseph.  If you have any info I would be most appreciative

My ancestors also lived on Buslingthorpe Lane between 1860 and the turn of the century.  My GG Grandfather was a caretaker at Carr Mills and I believe they lived at 164.  Their name was Shaw.
