12.04.05 Michelle D. of Ohio, USA I'm trying to help a good friend make contact with her half sister, Miss Annette Sykes. Annette was born during WW2 to Miss Freda Sykes. We know that Annette worked in the airline industry around 1994, and that at that time, neither of them had married. Freda was in the Woman's Land Army during the war over toward Oxford. I know there's a Miss Freda Sykes who attends the Bethesda Methodist Church Women's Hour who just had a birthday last month. I was hoping to find out if that was the correct Freda. There's a Miss Annie Sykes who had also been mentioned to  be around Elland or in the Huddersfield area as well. Any help or clues would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
12.04.05 Lois Alfsen of Racine, Winsconsin My great, great grandparents, John and Mary Jane SHAW came to America from Huddersfield around 1840...are there any Shaw relatives living in Huddersfield?  I will be in York this summer and would like to meet SHAW relatives.

I am not an expat, but searching for long lost relatives. My paternal grandmother was Janet Moore, nee HOLLINGS. I would like to make contact with her family in Yorkshire. In 1901 her brother Flanders Henry HOLLINGS had premises at 68 Regents Place, Bradford Road. He had a second wife Hannah, and children Harry 14, Walter 12, John 11, Frank 9, and Arthur 8.
If anyone can connect me with  any of their families I would be grateful.

Living in beautiful Vancouver, I am returning to Hudderfield for a visit after an absence of some thirty years. It would be great to meet up with some old school chums from Spring Grove. Left in 1956 (no emphasis on the word old of course). If you remember me please contact me (Sherlock) so we can organize a get together to chew the fat. Oh, is'nt that a TV show? Dont be shy contact me.

I am trying to trace the sons (my cousins) of my uncle Harold Evans. They once lived at 209, Fernside Avenue, Almondbury, Huddersfield, one of their names was Fergus, I think and they were twins. Their mother's name was Nancy. I sent a letter to that address but got no answer (I included a S.A.E.)Please can anyone help? Can someone give me the name of the local newspaper, for me to place an advertisement in, if I don't get any success from here?

I am trying to find the descendants of George and Sarah SHEARD (Sarah nee GODDARD). They were my grandparents and lived, as did I, in Berry Brow. Uncle Harold was part owner of Littlewoods Painters and Decorators. There were a number of uncles and I had cousins called Colin and Leslie who were uncle Arthur's children and Irene who is now Irene Hall who was uncle Gordon's. Uncle Alan and uncle Norman also had children, but I have no names for them. If anyone has any information I would be pleased to hear from them.

I am looking for any info on my grandparents - Martha G Saunders born 3/30/1869 & Frederick W Taylor - born 8/18/63 married prior to 1891 - gave birth to son Donald S. Taylor in 1891. I know it was a long time ago but if anyone can suggest where I might find records- it would be greatly appreciated.

11.01.06 Laura Brown of Misissauga, Ontario, Canada

I would like to know if I might post something on your bulletin board. I am researching my paternal grandfather's family, the Broadheads some of whom were born in the Holmfirth/Huddersfield area.
    My grandfather was called Edward, he was born in 1896. He was sent to live in Canada at the age of 14 - with his mother's brother & family. Edward's mother was born Caroline Agnes Taylor in 1871, & his father Alfred William Broadhead in 1868. They married in 1892. Caroline had 8 siblings: George (1867), Arthur (1869), Amy (1875), Percy (1877), Frederick (1879), Harold (1881), Harry (1883) & Florina (1884). Amy went to New Zealand in the early part of the 20th century, Caroline & Alfred going with them. Alfred died there a few years later. Edward had a brother called Harry. My grandfather lived with Frederick Taylor in Winnipeg, Frederick having moved there around the same time I believe as Caroline & Alfred taking the family to NZ. Caroline's parents were Caroline Witpen & George Taylor. Caroline Taylor's father accidentally drowned in the 1890's which appears to be suicide.
Alfred's parents were Hannah Rogers & Samuel Broadhead  - they were schoolmasters in the Barnsley area at West Bretton School. Alfred had 4 siblings: Gertrude (1871), Florence (1872), Harry (1881) & Muriel (1882). Samuel's parents were Joshua Broadhead & Mary Goddard. Samuel had the following siblings: John (1841), David (1843), Sarah (1844), Joshua (1848), Mary (1850), Ann (1851), Lydia (1853), Leila (1855), Clara (1859) & Alfred (1862). All born is Austonley (or possibly Holmfirth). I have marriages so far for (besides Samuel!) John & David. Joshua's father was a John Broadhead - I think I may have located his mother, who was a Lydia Butterworth. From the info I was directed to, I can trace the family back to around 1600. John's parents were a Joshua & Sarah Broadhead, Joshua's parents were Joshua Broadhead & Ann Haig, Joshua's parents were Robert Broadhead & Mary Kay.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
