Great Rob, it helps if you understand the geography of the place you are researching.

I too, was born there.

So nice, neither me nor Debbie are still living there  ;) ;D

Actually it isn't bad, the surrounding countryside is beautiful, particularly the Holme Valley.

The 1891 census has him born in 1854, but census ages are not always correct.  If I can find him on an earlier census we may get an idea of his age.

The 1898 death ties in with an 1854 birth, BUT George Henry ties in with his full name, however this one was born 1857.

The short answer is there's no definite way of knowing, sorry.

It's rather strange that I can't find births registered for the three Netherwood girls.  I've looked for both Netherwood and Brady for all three - zilch.

I searched outside the Huddersfield area as well, there were no Netherwood's within the timeframe for Charlotte, Annie or Emma, there are births for those first names surname BRADY but not in Hudd's.
