About The Skelmanthorpe Experiment
I hope this site has been of use to the people of the area. Since the lockdown, I have picked up the research, initially by starting again - see 'Skelmanthorpe 2' in the Useful Links section. I tried to merge the 2 trees, but it was almost impossible, so now I've gone back to the original as well.
Thanks for the wonderful guest book comments.
Regards
Russell

This is an experiment, using only FreeBMD, FamilySearch and Ancestry to establish interconnections between the families of Skelmanthorpe and the surrounding area. DO NOT treat what is included as fact, it is a work in progress!!!!!
This should be a great free resource for people with families in the area, but I need your help;
a) Please sign the GUESTBOOK so other people can share their research with you. b) If you notice any errors PLEASE let me know and I will correct them. c) If you would like to add anything to the site, email me and I will include it.
I have now started systematically working through the 1901 census for Skelmanthorpe. Once this is complete, I will then do the same for the surrounding areas before working backwards through time.
The recently added family data is being geneated by working through District 14.

THE VILLAGES
Denby Dale with Kitchenroyd
is a contained linear settlement on the river Dearne in a deeply incised valley. The
village did not exist before 1800, but with the building of the turnpike in 1842 and
the railway in 1850 the village developed with the textile industry. Kitchenroyd was
built in 1854 for a local workforce either side of the turnpike. Denby Dale is now an
attractive village with a good range of facilities and one remaining textile mill.
There has been considerable housing development in the village mainly on old
industrial land.
The Cumberworths and Upper Denby
are within a settled wooded farmland setting; a rolling landscape of fields and
woods, with distant panoramic views. The settlements are all ancient villages
mentioned in the Domesday Book. The villages have an established centre, with some
modern housing development, but with very restricted facilities, and just one shop.
Birdsedge and High Flatts
have an upland farmland characteristic on a high plateau giving extensive views with
an open and exposed feeling of remoteness. A landscape divided by sandstone walls,
sparsely populated, mainly down to permanent pasture and treeless. Birdsedge
developed along the Halifax to Sheffield turnpike in the late 18th century and grew
with the erection of the Birdsedge Mill on the river Dearne. The village has seen
some housing development, but remains a small village with very few facilities. High
Flatts is a small 18th century group of houses along the turnpike with a well
established Quaker centre. There has been little modern development and there are no
facilities.
Emley Moor
is also of upland farmland character on a high plateau, an exposed area
enjoying extensive views in all directions, with a lack of trees, sparsely settled
except for a concentration of buildings around the cross roads and towards Emley.
Emley Moor developed during the Industrial Revolution around the small scale mining
industry and is now a small spread out village with very few facilities.
Emley
is in a settled wooded farmland area with a long history from the 6th century
involving both agriculture and mining. The village has a well established centre with
a grade 2 listed church. The village has seen extensive housing development and is
now a substantial village but with limited facilities.
Clayton West and Scissett
are in a settled broad valley environment, spreading up the hill side and along the
Dearne with a mixture of residential and light industrial development. The two
villages merge into one another along the A636 but are distinct from Denby Dale.
Scissett has no real centre and a limited range of facilities, but does include an
indoor swimming pool. Clayton West has some sense of a centre and a limited range of
facilities.
Skelmanthorpe
is in a settled valley, on a shelf of land above a narrow river valley and is
strongly allied to the textile industry with some substantial mill buildings. The
village has grown with large spreading housing developments. These developments
have made it the largest village within the parish, with a good range of facilities
grouped at its centre.
