Hi
i am looking for my ancestors who were born in Bewerley/Patley Bridge.
Michael Joy was born here about 1830 then moved to Skipton and Cononley
before moving to Bradford.I have him on all the censors but of course nothing of him before 1841 when he lived in Bewerley.He lived here with his dad william{who was a lead miner} and mum who i think was called Ann.
I am going to visit the place in a few weeks and would love to see if there home is still standing.Not sure if i can find out where the family home is?

Also i would like to find any Baptism records or marriage

Thanks for reading this and hope some one can help

Barry :-)

Use the IGI on familysearch to look for baptisms...it's free.

For any England/Wales BMD info after July 1837.....use freebmd....

The ED description for the 1841 census may help you to get an idea of where in Bewerley your people were living. Even if the building no longer exists, you may get a 'sense' of where it was
