Hi just joined. I live in Brighouse In West Yorkshire. looking for many family names including Dyson, Jackson, Swallow, Kirkby, Sunderland, Sayles to name a few.


I am looking for some help with my 3 x's great grandmother Leah Swallow nee Dyson. Can not find her to obtain parents names.

I have her birth as Darfield but am unable to find anything to confirm it and her parents and wondered if you could offer any advice please. Doncaster archives can not find anything in their records for darfield or little houghton either??

Hi, and welcome!

That does look a really hard problem.

Have you tried looking at other the Dysons born around Darfield? Leah was not a very common name was it? Perhaps you could find a niece? (Straw grasping)

thank you Peterd.
Gardener.. thank you
I have found quite a few Dysons from the same era in Darfield and have not been able to work through them down the census's yet but dont feel very confident that it will glean any info. This is so very frustrating as I would love to take my linage back further.
