Aaagh  ...... I've just had a look on the IGI:

David's Christening: 17 NOV 1811   Old Chapel Independent, Heckmondwike

These are not Church of England's records  ...... you need to access the records for this Chapel   ....... Wakefield Archives will have them.

Hi Val

Went to Cleckheaton Library and had a look for David and his family at St.James Church Heckmondwike but the records don't go back so far, will see what the have at Huddersfield next time I go they may have some that go further back there for St James Church.

Hi Ann,

Just trying to save you a trip for nothing, as the earliest date for St. James, Heckmondwike records, is 1831 (Fiche ref: WDP88).
The earliest date for St. Saviour, Heckmondwike records, is 1890 (Fiche ref: WDP88).

I had a quick look for the family in my St. Peters, Birstall baptisms transcriptions   ....... sorry, they are not there.  :'(

Hi Graeme,

I can confirm that the marriage date is correct, by banns and both parties abodes was Cleckheaton, at the time of the marriage.

This info is from Index of Marriages, at St. Peters Church, Birstall which I purchased from Huddersfield FHS.

Sorry, no further info in this booklet, but hope this helps you a little.

Hi John,

It looks like Kirkburton is the parish for them. There are no baptisms for Matthew DAWSON, with a father named Joseph, at Flockton, Thornhill or Emley.

Good Luck!

Hi All  :)

I managed to connect 'our' Mountain families, even though mine is a connection by marriage only!

I couldn't get any further back than Joseph Mountain b. Abt. 1700 buried 21 Jul 1763 Flockton, married Ellin Whittaker 17 Nov 1728 at Thornhill. She was buried 12 Apr 1770 Flockton.

You're both descended from their son, Major, but by different wives, as you mentioned. My Harriet NAYLOR who married George MOUNTAIN b. 1857 Flockton (Parish Register for baptisms was destroyed for that time) is descended from your Major's brother, Thomas.

He was bap. 17 Feb 1744 Flockton, buried 18 Apr 1814 Flockton, aged 70 yrs. He married Clemencia Bedford 22 Apr 1764 Thornhill and she was buried 06 May 1824 Flockton, aged 81 yrs.

Hi All,
I finished the pages forward 1784-1812 for Flockton and found the following for the MOUNTAIN family:

Major MOUNTAIN buried 30 Sept 1796 Flockton
Beattrix, daughter of Majer MOUNTAIN buried 22 Aug 1804 Flockton
Unfortunately, I didn't spot a death for Sarah (nee North) maybe I missed it?

As and when, I'll work backwards from 1759 (which is the year I started in the first place for you) to 1713, to see if I can tie my MOUNTAIN family in with yours  ....... all new messages will be added to this thread, unless the moderators move it. In which case I'll start a new thread for Mountain family in the W.R. Yorkshire board.

Re The FIRTH's:

Great news for you John!
Although there are no James FIRTH's baptised at Thornhill 1745-1775 and there are no baptisms at Thornhill from 1786-1800 for James & Elizabeth's children ...... it looks as though Christine is right about James' Parents! I think the baptism below will please you:

Samuel  bap. 04 May 1788 Flockton, son of James FIRTH 
No more baptisms at Flockton for anymore children. Perhaps James & Elizabeth went back to Dewsbury or even Mirfield?

Re The ENGLISH's:

No INGLISH marriages at Emley either, but a few baptisms, including another sibling of Batrix.

Georgius INGLISH bap. 29 Aug 1731 Emley, son of Josephi 
(Looks like the Joseph who married Ann, named his first born son after his father)

Franciscus INGLISH bap. 13 Jan 1693/94 Emley, son of Georgij
Martha INGLISH bap. 09 Feb 1695/96 Emley, daughter of Georgij
Georgius ENGLISH bap. 09 May 1700 Emley, son of Georgij
Anna ENGLISH  bap. 18 April 1703 Emley, daughter of Georgij
Josephus and Benjamin INGLISH  bap. 09 Feb 1706/07 Emley, twin sons of Georgij
Maria INGLISH bap. 07 May 1710 Emley, daughter of Georgij

Have fun,
Diane

Hi All,
I'm going offline now, but will get the info tomorrow re the ENGLISH family at Emley  ...... I didn't look that far back! I'll also have a look at Thornhill for James FIRTH's baptism, but if it isn't there, then it looks as though Christine has found him.

Since my last visit here, I got out my microfiche reader to look up the marriage of James and Elizabeth, as I just happen to have bought the fiche which has 1786 on it  ........ I was looking for the Parish listed at the time of marriage. Although it does say Thornhill, this means that he may have only been living in the Parish for a minimum of three weeks  ....... but he could have been living there for years   ........ moved from Dewsbury if he was born there.

This info is copied from the microfiche of the actual Parish Register, the old alphabet is used  ..... the funny *f* written instead of an *s*  but that's the only difference in my typing it out. This shows the difference between an Index, a transcription and the real thing!

Parish of Thornhill:

Page 76
Entry no: 224 in Register

James Firth and Elizabeth Mountain both of this Parish were married in this Church by Banns this ninth day of August in the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty six.
By me J. Greenwood Curate of Thornhill

This marriage was solemnized between us:
{The Mark of James X Firth
{The Mark of Eliz X Mountain

In the presence of:
{Thomas Wilcock
{John Rhodes

The X's where they both made their mark, is in exactly the same place as I have typed it ...... between their forename and surname.

That's it for now.
Diane


P.S. Just read that you've found the second marriage  ...... Great!!!!

Hi John,

Oh that's a shame  ....... I don't have any resources for Mirfield at all. It looks as though I can't help you any further with your Firth's and I don't even know if anybody sells any booklets or anything for this Parish.

I'm glad I asked as I was about to look for your James baptism in Flockton and Thornhill, seeing as he wasn't born in Emley as you thought.

Anyway, good luck  .... I hope you can track him down sometime in the future. I'll put all my efforts into the MOUNTAIN's now, seeing as you do connect to them via James' wife, Elizabeth and the marriage in 1786!
