Looking for Grandparents of CONCERT WILLIAM HALMSHAW - Huddersfield/Dewsbury/Batley area West Yorkshire
My Great Granddad Concert William Halmshaw was born in Liversedge , West Yorkshire in 1839. He was baptised at Hartshead Parish and his parents were William HALMSHAW ( b 1809 Liversedge ) and Rachel HOWARTH (b 1806 Liversedge).
It is likely that that the parents of William & Rachel came from the same area of West Yorkshire. A comprehensive search of available records has revealed nothing to date! Can anybody out there help ??

Nothing to be sorry about ! I did have the marriage date but you mentioned Charles Howarth - this could be her brother which I did not know !
If you send me a private message with your email address i will try to send the document to you
I may have also found some grandparents :a Baptism November 12 1809 for William Halmshaw son of Thomas & Sarah of Hightown, handwritten in the Parish Register
