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

.....Skelmanthorpe.....Kirkburton.....Cumberworth.....Shelley.....Scissett..... ...Shepley...Flockton...Denby Dale...Clayton West...Emley...High Hoyland... 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 settlements of the Parish with their population are:
Skelmanthorpe 4188 Denby Dale 2699 Kitchenroyd With Denby Dale Emley 1872 Emley Moor With Emley Birdsedge 335 High Flatts With Birdsedge Clayton West 2644 Scissett 1336 Upper Cumberworth 760 Lower Cumberworth 460 Upper Denby. 595 Lower Denby With Upper Denby 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. from http://www.denbydale.com/media/parish_plan_2006-7.pdf PS I cannot see any of the trees opened to me on GenesReunited as I am only a free member with the Skelmanthorpe tree.
