Hi

In basic Agbrigg was the country villages around the main towns of Pontefract, Wakefield, Dewsbury, and Huddersfield to the border with Staincross. Morley covered more villages around Halifax-Todmorden area (Not to be mixed up with Morley at Leeds)

Here is the 1811 towns in lower Agbrigg

and later 1931

In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth
