Hi Carol.
I'm going to go to Wakefield Archive & Dioese records office in the new year , when there! sniff out these parish years on original parish books as a lot of the early gro index certs marriage and bapts were only copies of these.
Your experienced advice of finding, working how to break down these brickwalls too a true as possible conclusion is invaluable and well recieved.
Thanks again,
Will keep you posted
