barnsley marriage

Hi again

You know how as one does! (Us lads) waking up in the night and realising Raquel Welsh was only a dream! so got up for a cupa!

I looked at the 1881 census on LDS family search, realised Charles and daughter eldest Ann Firth b 1867 were not living with Alice and her sibling in Barnsley!

There is a Charles and Daughter  Ann Firth living in Leeds 1881 c  both about right ages! but this Charles was born Bradford and Ann was born somewhere different to the 1871c. but worth checking it out! Mick

Wakefield is part of the West Yorkshire archive service and the Barnsley registers are deposited there not Huddersfield.

Hi

Huddersfield library has/have all that is on this list and nonconformist also some Lancashire on Micro film/fiche

http://www.archives.wyjs.org.uk/documents/archives/Collections%20Guide%201.pdf

Kirklees WYAS is in the same room at Huddersfield Library but unlike Barnsley and other archives the local studies library is completely separate. Also all the Mi's Cemetery records and YAS  Books records are all under the library. The archive do work with the library on an informal level though! as all WYSA Catalogue Books and other stuff! are brought into the library on a trolleys when the WYAS Kirklees office is closed.

The HFHS at the Rootscellar Meltham Huddersfield have all WYAS PRs and Noncoformist PR's Micro film fiche and some Lancs Registers on micro film as well (Copies 20p) and they work in conjunction with all WYAS archives, Huddersfield Library and YAS  letting them have all there records on a swop for swop base also work with Borthwick York uni! York uni Library! and Huddersfield Uni Library (These Repositories are awesome)

Not to highjack your thread, but I have a FIRTH connection I'll throw out, just in case we can make a connection.

My Charles Henry FIRTH was b. 1865 in Worsbrough.  He married my great-great-aunt, Agnes Stanier or Stoneyer (CROSSLAND) in Barnsley in 1887.  I have a copy of a newspaper clipping about their 50th wedding anniversary -- with lovely wee pictures :-)  It says Charles was born in Taylor Row ("now George Street"), Worsboro Dale.  The couple moved to Sheffield Road in Birdwell.  It doesn't name his parents, but he's living with a John & Emma in the 1881 census of Worsbrough.

Charles and Agnes had nine children, but as of the 1937 article, only five daughters and 1 son were living.  I want to track down the kids someday ... think one was named Maurice or Morris, and another was Ethel.  Some of Agnes' siblings came here to America -- I have info on some of them (as well as her ancestors).

Cheers,
