Somewhat belatedly here are the details of the updates to the West Riding of Yorkshire in the Joiner Marriage Index. I can only apologise for not writing this brief article earlier but work has been a touch busy of late. The update was fully implemented on the 28th December and I hope that it has already proved useful for some of our customers. Thank you for your patience.
We added 11,749 marriage records to the Joiner Marriage Index for the West Riding of Yorkshire, which was a mixture of updates to five of the parishes and the addition of two new parishes, namely East Ardsley and Woodkirk. The details of the updates are:
New parishes:
East Ardsley with 126 marriage records between 1813 and 1837
Woodkirk with 260 marriage records between 1813 and 1837
Existing parishes:
Almondbury with 4806 marriage records between 1813 and 1837
Kirkburton with 2515 marriage records between 1813 and 1837
Rothwell with 3077 marriage records between 1813 and 1837
Sandal Magna with 310 marriage records between 1832 and 1837
Tickhill with 655 marriage records between 1772 and 1837
This takes the total to 253,903 marriage records in 146 parishes in the West Riding of Yorkshire and 2,227,589 marriage records in 3,186 parishes in 26 counties for the whole of the online part of the Joiner Marriage Index. Also belatedly we would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year for 2012, and hope that we continue to be the leading online marriage index in our 6th year for the website!
