Hi Dave,
All working well now thanks again.

If you give me names, I'll have a look on my MI disc for Halifax churches.  And I've got connections with a Cockroft family from Ovenden - Betty and Harriet Cockroft both married John Appleyard     They were all buried at Nursery Lane Methodists in Ovenden.  Betty and Harriet were daughters of Andrew and Mary.

Your MI disc looks to have some interesting information.   Can you tell me if this covers the whole country or just Halifax and where could I  get one?

Many thanks
Ginger

Hi Gingernut,

This is an old thread on bumble b tread reply and many emails have past between us offline being Bumble b, Sandra and myself since .

I have done alot of work in Halifax  for Sandra and Bumble b family history

Bumble b has done most of my family ancestry in Warwick also Sandra is working on the Derbyshire side of my family.

Also Bumble b and Sandra communicate on their own families off line.

All 'tit for tat stuff!'

We only put info on Rootschat for other people who maybe doing these families or researching them -now or lose email contact by computer technical communication problems

But thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Bumble B is in Australia at the moment but I will email her on her return to the UK  to remind her to answer your query at the end of November.

Thanks Dobfarm - hope BumbleB is having a nice time !   wish I was there..

Hi Gin

Your best! way  is to PM Bumble b yourself as she has Email access in Australia and is ancestry mad like the rest of us!  so won't mind you contacting her with your query. She has a lot of Halifax knowledge & can tell you her resources of her own stock also be able to tell when she will be back.

hi Sandra, (and Dobby)
I'm not sure if you resolved your original question or not ? I have re-read the first half dozen pages of this thread and it seemed that you were chasing about over most of West Yorkshire and that was the main reason that I stopped following the thread ages ago.
Let me explain my interest My 3x great uncle Joseph Lightowler married Hannah Cockroft in Halifax 27 Jun 1814 both OTP. Joseph lived in Northowram - next to Ovenden. As far as I can make out Hannah was born 1793 and was baptised at Pellon Lane baptist, dau of Thomas and Hannah, she had a sister Harriet b 1787.
In 1841 the Lightowler family lived at Crow Point Northowram and next door was a Betty Cockroft age 30 (rounded down ?)
The burials of my family were very elusive but in Bradford Library I found reference to them being buried at Ambler Thorne Methodist Chapel Queensbury, in a book of burials and MI's that an historian had hand written. (Some of the MI's had been copied from Arthur Blackburn's records).
If you have come across any of my Cockroft family in your search I would welcome any new info.

Hi Dave,

I'll leave you with Sandra!

We have have taken Sandra's family deep rooted tree back to the 15th century with the her North and Cockroft surnames with Wills-MI's PR's-Deeds -leases, abodes and many more. Sandra is fully conversant now and maybe able too help you.

For myself I'm doing my own family research! also one off selected (No blanked [unknown date outside  3 month peramiter limits] searches) PR lookups for rootschat posters off the boards only and Sandra's other Surnames in between and cannot take any more personal family overhaul research cases.
