Hi
Bottomboat was an area of Wakefield - I found a fantastic website recently that gives a lot of the history of that area: http://www.stanleyhistoryonline.com

Family History Beginners Board / Fred Shires
« on: Saturday 26 February 11 21:28 GMT (UK) »
I'm interested in any information about the family of Fred Shires (my great grandfather) born 1848 near Wakefield. He was a coal merchant who navigated the Aire Calder Canal, living on Edinburgh Street, Hook for a while where my great grandmother was a grocer. His son Ernest was a ships carpenters apprentice in 1891. Fred had a second and third marriage to Mary Hattersley and Emma Storey, possibly from Goole.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Grange family, Pateley Bridge

Hi
I have already posted this on the North Riding board but realise that I should have put it on the West Riding board.
Please does anyone know about the Grange families of Pateley Bridge. I am trying to find links between Joseph Grange who was married to Margaret Richardson and left to live in America in 1830 and Samuel Skaife Grange, as well as Joseph Grange and John who moved to Manchester. I have many Granges on my family tree and would be grateful for any inscriptions that show family relationships. I am able to access UK census images back to 1841 but am struggling for information before these dates.
My other interests are the family of Edmund Longster and Laura Hawkin.
Kind regards
Tricia
