Shibden Industrial school
« on: Wednesday 25 May 16 08:02 BST (UK) »
Hi
I have done a google search and found various images of the school and its residents.  Does anyone know where I can obtain more  information and photographs please?    Can anyone point me to the relevant local library or perhaps a history society that might help my search?   Many thanks.

Calderdale library in Halifax, or Calderdale family history society.
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

As well as the above suggestions: ~ you could try these people on the link

Halifax Antiquarian Society

Also West Yorkshire Archive Service

Catalogue link

For a fresh search ~ click on advanced search in left down list menu in link above

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