Thanks for visiting Keighley& District Local History web site. Please sign our guestbook and leave a message. Don't forget to add a photo if you have one.
Please note there is a FORUM for your queries!!
My great-great grandparents, last name WIGGLESWORTH, lived in Keighley. My great grandmother, Maria Wigglesworth, and many (if not all) of her siblings were born there. I am looking for parish and/or civil records of Wigglesworth marriages. Also, I am looking for parish records or cemetery records of graves and/or gravestones that could identify the resting places for my relatives. The following are the names I am interested in researching: William Wigglesworth, dob 11/9/1835; Ann Leach Wigglesworth, dob 6/11/1837, dod 7/3/1895. They were married on 12/3/1853. Their children: Hannah Wigglesworth, dob 7/1/1855; Martha Wigglesworth, dob 7/11/1859; Sarahann Wigglesworth, dob 7/20/1861; Hugh Wigglesworth, dob 4/12/1863; Jane Wigglesworth, dob 5/31/1865; Eliza Wigglesworth, dob 10/30/1867; Maria Wigglesworth, dob 9/18/1869; Elizabeth Wigglesworth, dob 7/26/1871; John Wigglesworth, dob 11/17/1874; William Wigglesworth, dob 7/11/1876; James Wigglesworth, dob 12/20/1877; and Arthur Wigglesworth, dob 5/6/1880. I also wonder if anyone can give me any information on the death of Alfred Jarman; i.e., final resting place, cause of death, etc. I believe he was born about 1858 (perhaps NOT in the Keighley area) but apparently died in Keighley in 1883. There is a strong possibility that he was Sarahann Wigglesworth's husband. Thank you for anything you can provide me.

I live in New Zealand and my great grandparents came here in 1878 from Halifax. I have connections to NICHOLSON,CRABTREE, WOODHEAD and MURGATROYD. It would be great if I could find cousins through this website.

i was curious about currer laithe farm moss carr rd long lee keighley and found your site. my mother ann swire murray was born at this farm house on nov. 26 1918. she is now 89 years of age and wanted me to do a pastel painting of her birth place. i do have a few black and white photos and a pastcard. she was thrilled to find this sight with me and wanted to post that she lived here with her parents a brother and sister. her brother was born on low spring road and her older sister was born in methuen mass united states. while they lived here she was bitten on the face by a dog that my grandfather brought home one evening it went for the cat and got her instead. her cheek was pulled off and her teeth were exposed. my grandfather rushed her to the local doctor by horse. he ran the horse so hard it died when they arrived. the doctor sewed her cheek inside and out. she still has a visible scar. thanks kieghley for the memories and time spent with my mother on this site.
