[Nicky]

Hi again

Sams birth in 1893, the district North Bierley covers Cleckheaton.

Name:    Spencer, Sam
Record Type:    Births
Quarter:    December
Year:    1893
District:    North Bierley  
County:    West Riding of Yorkshire
Volume:    9b
Page:    156

I dont have access to the Yorkshire 1901 census,only the free search and found these
Sam Spencer age 7 born Cleckheaton,living in Cleckheaton
James Spencer age 33 born Cleckheatong, teamer at tannery carm (dont know what a carm is,could be transcript error)
Ada Spencer age 33 born Cleckheaton

There are a few other children that could be theirs but I would advise asking for a full lookup from someone who has the census.

Hi Kathy and Nicky,

Again, thankyou very very much!! The anaesthetist is going to be delighted with this.

The next thing I've got to do is find James Spencer's father, husband of Elizabeth, and their marriage. This seems like it might be a Manchester connection. (People moved around in the mid 1800s much more than  expected!)

Anyway, one final question: how do I go about casting forward to find relations who might be alive today?

Thankyou again for all of your help!

Many thanks for the offer. I'm looking for Elfrida Castelow who was born around 1811 in Leeds. She married Thomas Pickering in 1830 in Leeds Parish Church. If you could find her baptism, I'd be forever grateful as I've drawn a complete blank with her.

Hia.  I am looking for relatives of William Fox of Rothwell who marrieda Mary Cripps also relatives of hers. I believe her father was Charles Richard Cripps and her mother Sarah Ann Carter.  She was born in Middlesex but I understand he died in Hunslet area, having remarried in 1871.  Any help re any of these people would be great.

What a wonderful offer!
 My Great Grandfather JOSEPH BARKER married MARY HELLIWELL on 12 Jan 1786, probably Huddersfield, according to a genealogist we employed many years ago. Joseph was Christened 28 Mar 1766, father John Barker, St. Peter Leeds.
It would be wonderful if you could find any further information from records.
Thanks, DelB
