Family history research

Further research

You could try looking at census reports. These give details of people living at a household at the time of the census. The latest published census reports are for 1901 and can be accessed on the 1901 Census for England and Wales.

Alternatively, Calderdale Libraries subscribe to Ancestry (Library Edition), which has the census records for England and Wales from 1841 to 1901. You can access this free of charge in any Calderdale library. See Online reference resources .
