Was your William Brierley at 119 Burnley Road in 1891 Gloria?

Martha Hirst http://www.briercliffesociety.co.uk/Photo%20Archive/The%20Halstead%20Collection/Martha%20Hirst1.htm lived next door but one at 123.

Gloria, I am doing a bit of digging into a Halstead family tree, I think Martha Hirst's mother-Betty, might have been a sister to your William Brierley. I could be completely wrong of course!
Have a look at the census thread. It's the 1881 census in particular that is making me curious.

Mel, yes he was there in 1891.
I haven't got a sister Betty for William, but that doesn't mean to say that there wasn't one.
I have a daughter of William Brierley and Betty (nee Stanworth) called Maggie born 1883. She married a Lawrence Halstead March qtr 1906. I think I got this titbit from the website. I haven't followed her at all, I followed her sister Martha.

Mel, just looked at your Mary Hirst thread. My William Brierley in the 1881 was living at Swamp Top with his wife Betsy (Betty), children Martha Ann, Jessie, Joseph and father in law Joseph Stanworth.

It seems she may have married an Edmund Hirst.

Wasn't your William married in 1881 though? He is living as Betty Hirst's brother in 1881.

There must have been two William Brierleys, although I cannot find another reference to yours, there are so many ways they spelt the surname---Brierley, Brierly, Briearly, Briearley, Breerly----found all these in various censuses.
OR, it could be the same guy as Swamp Top is just down the road from Cop Row.
In 1881 Williams father Benjamin and family were living next door to the Hirsts on Cop Row.
I will look into this more in a couple of days, we are away till sat from lunch today at the Horse of the Year Show.

Gloria - do you have a Harwood Brierley?
I've found one or two articles written by him about Trawden forest, Boulsworth and surrounding countryside. I will eventually have them transcribed and added.

No I haven't Mel. What an unusual name, worth making a note of.

The pieces he wrote were quite interesting. I will look at doing them while I am away, they are quite long.
