An error has been reported for the baptisms for this church. It is:
BUTTERWORTH – Richard on 26 December 1793
It should read:
BUTTERWORTH – Simeon on 26 December 1793 Son of John and Ann Butterworth
This has been confirmed in the Censuses as the original document that was transcribed was very faint and was very difficult to read.
The Transcription Index and the Databases have been changed to reflect this change.
An omission has been found on the baptisms for this church. It is :-
WADSWORTH – Edmund son of Timothy of Wadsworth 15/11/1696
An error has been found on the inscription of James Highley – Grave No K36. His age should be 28 not 78.
An error has been discovered in our Transcription of an entry in the 1851 census. The entry for Emmen Smith of Northowram, a farmer of 7 acres, should be shown as a 71 year-old female widow, rather than a 71 year old male widower. We apologise for this error.

The CDs & downloads for Halifax St John BMDs for 1813 to 1837 has recently been found to have a set of data missing. Specifically, in the date sequence file only, baptisms from 1/7/1827 to 31/12/1827 are missing. The files giving baptisms in name sequence are unaffected.
Anyone who has previously purchased a download of these files should already have had a replacement file sent to them. Anyone who has previously purchased a CD & would like a correction file sent to them, should E-Mail projects@cfhsweb.co.uk & we will arrange for the corrected file to be E-Mailed to you.
Our thanks to Mr. David Greenwood for pointing this error out to us.
