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
