[Scribbles]

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.

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 Scribbles

Thank you for letting me know, I was thinking it was Cleckheaton library that had them missing you have saved me a wasted journey, I did notice when I went they had some new records for some of the chapels but did not have chance to have a good look.

Hi Val

Been to Huddersfield library today and I had no luck for you  Huddersfield library records for the Old Independent Heckmondwike did not start till 1855, I looked myself first and could not find them so asked the lady behind the desk and she looked in the fiche drawer and there book where they have all the records entered that they hold and every thing said 1855.

Not sure if they will have then at Wakefield Archives but I don't go there so sorry can't help, you could email the Wakefield Archives to see if they hold them.

Sorry I could not help you more.

Hello Ann
              Thankyou very much for trying, sometimes I think the records are as hard to track down as the relatives. Maybe I will be able to come to Yorkshire in the summer for a bit of sight seeing and a bit of rellie hunting
 Thankyou again Val

Hi Val

When I am going through the records for my own stuff I will keep a look out for your  David Crawshaw.
