Non-conformist Churches / Chapels: Registers

If any member attends one of the Saddleworth Non-conformist Churches/Chapels, could they enquire on the location of current baptism and marriage registers/records. Also, where applicable the funeral or burial records. I am currently updating the information for placing in a Bulletin during 2013, and it would be useful to have up to date details for the members. Details can be placed on this site. Thanks Ivan F

Banwell ratio: crude totals of surnames per parish (poor law union) do not give helpful information.
Parishes are of varying sizes & some surnames, like Taylor, are very common & will predominate in
 most areas. The ratio shows how common a name is in an area compared to how common it is
 nationally.

Notice eg that Wood is a common name, (although mainly in the North) and is common in
Saddleworth. But it is disproportionately common in Saddleworth which has the highest relative
 concentration in the country.

Saddleworth Families DNA Project FORM

Saddleworth Families DNA Project

Arising out of the Day School the Society has decided to carry out a study using DNA data. Men have a genetic DNA profile inherited from their father, who in turn has inherited from his father and so on back through the generations with relatively few changes. Thus a son (and his brothers) inheriting the family name is also inheriting the father’s DNA profile.

Using the information in the DNA profile can help to solve problems in building a family tree. It may also be possible to investigate the origins of families such as the Mallalieus, whether families such as the Wrigleys or Hawkyards actually originate in Saddleworth or whether families such as Broadbent or Wood, whose surnames arise from landscape features are, in fact, one family.

It may also be possible to investigate even earlier origins. Although DNA profiles are specific to families they are, at the same time, members of groups and these groups are less or more common in different parts of Europe. Using this approach it has been possible to show that parts of Britain were settled by Vikings.

These are examples. Other studies are possible and we would welcome ideas.

The society has obtained some funding under the LEADER project which will contribute to the cost of DNA sampling.

At this stage we are looking for members who are interested in taking part in the project either men with a Saddleworth name or who can volunteer a male relative to undertake a DNA test (This, it should be emphasised, only has a family history application and is confidential).

If you have not yet started researching your family the Society should be able to help, provided a known male ancestor can be identified before 1911.

[Members without a local surname may, through the Society, be able to take the DNA test at a discounted rate.]

I am interested in taking part in the Saddleworth DNA project
