Do we not have them in 1881? I have been thinking we had 

Is Hannah with John? I was just going to look for them, thinking that Hannah and John were together in 1891 but just remembered that John is married to Charlotte in 1891 and we have them.

I think that is right is it? I haven't checked back over the thread.

Hi Hey

No one has found the 1881c of James, Hannah or John Henry

I have been at YAS Claremont all day but called at our Library in Huddersfield on my way home-The Lib staff and I had the maps of Heckmondwike/Birstall  Checked C of E and Non conformist Chapel around Birstall at Birkenshaw-Oakworth and Gomersal- also Liversedge non-conformist all to no avail.
Without the 1881c we are talking 19 to 20 year gap from this marriage 1871 at Birstall of James and Hannah

Gone broad? or Transportation of James to Australia, prison or in the Army family traveling with him or in another county south or north of Yorkshire.

That would explain John H missing off the register ie; born on ship.??

If James's death can be found ? a gravestone MI or Will may answer.

Other than that! as you say its call it a day - Hey

Well not only have we lost Hannah in 1881- think I'm losing it. I was sure we had him 

It does say that rootschat is having problems tonight so maybe Ann's post has been affected by that.

This could be John in 1891.

Clough Rd, Masbrough, Rotherham.
Hannah Wood, head, wid, 35, b. Dewsbury,
John H. Wood, son, s, 19, Brick Maker, b. Dewsbury.
Henry Sharpe, lodger, s, 42, General Labourer, b. Ivison
RG12/3849/94/

This is who we think is him in 1891, he married Charlotte in 1893. Hannah's age is out on this though going by Hannah Sykes in 1871 and even more by the marriage.

Thank you 

I knew he was a brickmaker  on the one we think is him and then realised that he would be too young in 1881 

It would be much simpler to have another go at a certificate

Hi Hey

Going to Wakefield Archives today (Have other stuff to do there aswell) and look at poor law records and poll books
School records if any!

John H Wood  had to be somewhere 1870/80's

James Taylor Baptist lay preacher held  house service at Chapelfold Staincliffe Baptist. Sunday School built 1871-72 in Staincliffe road
The Minister Rev Simon Hall and most of the congregation left Chapelfold because of problems with the chapel trustees and Established a new congregation using the Sunday School premises in Staincliffe road Baptisms held in the local pond
