« on: Wednesday 07 September 11 04:59 BST (UK) »Calliek - Huddersfield Local History Library has the Highfield records on film. You can email them - huddersfield.localhistory@kirklees.gov.uk. I don't think they have MIs but there is a list of graves which gives the names and relationships of people buried in the same grave.
I have a copy of the HDFHS transcript of the burials if you'd like me to check for somebody for you, but it only gives the name, date of burial and age

Thanks Sandra- I'm missing the grave for one of my string of Thomas Kilner's. He was born around 1778 and died in 1858 - I found a burial record at the Root Cellar that show that he was buried at Highfield. Possibly with his wife Harriot Kilner (born Hirst). I have who I believe to be his father's MI which I located at St Peter and and definitely his son (both also Thomas Kilner) who we found at Holy Trinity. I'm hoping for an MI since yob might help solve a few questions...
Sunlaws, I read through most of those Highfield records on film at the Hudderfield library when I was there- fascinating stuff but my eyes gave out before I could finish! I never did locate anything in reference to any Kilners although I wish I could figure out how Katherine Goddard connects to my line - I believe there's a connection with the Hirst line, and the above Thomas and Harriot named their youngest daughter Catherine Goddard.
Quilltales, I think I have some notes relating to Castlegate- I'll see if I can dig them up.
