My g.g. grandfather James Oldham was born in Honley in 1805. Married Ann Broadbent from Kirkburton in 1829. Died in Honley 1863. **3 of their sons married 3 daughters of Nathan and Catherine (Graham) Jagger. Most of these families emigrated to Ontario~ Canada in the mid 1800's **I am trying to connect with any living family of the one daughter who stayed in England. Selina Oldham married John Wm. Taylor of Honley in 1861. They moved to Sowerby Bridge~ Yrk. and raised a family there. John died in Sowerby Bridge~ but Selina went on to Sheffield to be near some of her children She died in Sheffield in 1915. John and Selina Taylor's children were: George~ Ann~ Eva~ Edward and Gertrude. **I would like to correspond with anyone who might be able to help me. I would also be willing to help others with their Canadian research~ and specifically British Columbia research in exchange. You can reach me through my e-mail address~ and please put "Oldham genealogy" in the subject line. Thank you so much~ Eileen

I am hoping to confirm my 3X great grandparents as Thomas Fisher & Alice Jagger married at Elland in 1792.I believe their son John born 1811 married Mary Aspinal in 1836.(They had 13 children)**Thomas is described as labourer/husbandman and John as a hand loom weaver. I cannot connect with Fishers further back than this. Any info would be welcome

I am looking for a family called Cockin. I believe Thomas Cockin was born in or around Honley / Shepley at the end of the 18th century. He was married to Mary. I also believe they had a son called Uriah. Cockin and Uriah are such unusual names I wondered if anyone might recognise them from their family history. Thanks~ Judith

I am trying to help a good friend make contact with a Miss Freda Sykes and/or a Miss Annette Sykes who might possibly be in the Elland area. Freda may have grown up around Boxhall(?). Freda gave birth to Annette during WW2. As of 1994~ neither had married. We think there may be a Miss Freda Sykes associated with the Bethesda Methodist Church~ who could possibly be the one. Freda would be around 83 yrs. old & Annette around 61-63 yrs. old. Please email with any info you might be able to give. Thank you.**Sincerely~ Michelle D.---from the Ohio~USA

My great grandfather Joseph Crowther~ wife Hannah and family~ lived in Elland from sometime around 1877/8 until his death in 1885. My grandfather was Charley Crowther (who died in Dublin in 1954).****In 1870 Joseph (23) and Hannah (21) Crowther resided in 6 Booths Yard~ Halifax. His occupation is listed as plasterer. Their first child Louisa was born on August 2nd. By 1873 they had moved to 5 Launceston Street~ Halifax. Joseph was still a plasterer. Charley (my grandfather) was born on February 10th. They remained in Launceston Street through 1875 when Willie was born on January 31st and 1876 when Blanche was born on November 9th. In 1878 their address was South Lane~ Elland. Henry was born that year on July 19th. Joseph's occupation is listed as Slater. January 1881~ when Lilly Hiley was born~ they were in Upper Langdale Street~ Elland cum Greetland. Joseph **is now listed as Slater and Plasterer. Joseph was 34 and Hannah was 32. Joseph died at the age of 38 in 1885 and is buried in Blackley cemetery. Hannah later moved to 106 Huddersfield Road~ Elland~ from where Blanche Crowther sent her wedding invitation for tea . This is dated August 17th 1898 when she was 21. **Are there any relatives remaining in Elland and does anybody have a picture or photo of any houses mentioned above.
