associated information available for the town of Knottingley and Ferrybridge in
any one single accessible place.
Our new Digest Family History website at
www.YorkshireAncestry.co.uk is dedicated to Knottingley and Ferrybridge
family history, listing thousands of family history records. Digest Family
History is a members only website and to access it you must be a subscribing
member but from just £2.50 per month if you register now, that's unbeatable
value for money when you consider what your membership gives you access to. A
lot of work and financial investment has gone into constructing this new website
and it is has meant learning new technologies to construct the databases
necessary to store and retrieve our information. We are now ready and able to
offer this information to our visitors and if you have any connection with
Knottingley or Ferrybridge then you really should consider becoming one of our
founding members. I am certain that just like me, you will be enthralled with
what is on offer. Read through our marriage and baptism records - you'll have
lot's of enjoyment as you recall the families and family names you once knew.
Perhaps you'll find yourself listed like I did!
But it's not just family history. We have so much more to offer everyone. Read
about the Carter family, brewers of Knottingley, and the family home at Lime
Grove. Coming soon is a history of St. Botolph church. And if you are interested
in old wooden sailing ships, we have hundreds of records listing vessels built
throughout the local area and as far afield as Goole, along with the families
who owned and worked on them. It's members only, but that's the reason it is
going to be a bit special. Local History and Family History - I think we've now
got everything more or less covered and if there is a website anywhere else in
the UK that offers so much information for a town of comparable size to ours
then I'll be blowed!
