Huge Thanks!! To Pat for the display she made of a collection of old Hyde photographs and newspapers articles which we used at our stand at the Tameside Independence Days (Retirement Shows) on Monday and Tuesday this week at Hyde Town Hall. Also to Pat, Doris, Anita and Pam for helping out on the days. We were kept busy, but mostly by other stall holders who were amazed how easy it was to find their grannies on the 1911 Census and BMD’s etc. We seem to have really sparked an interest and our next Family History Trail will be extremely busy.
Society Trip in July:
I have arranged a visit and guided tour to the newly refurbished People’s History Museum in Manchester on Wednesday 14th July at 2.00pm. The cost will be £3 per person, but I might be able to arrange a bit of a discount for Society members. The Museum is very easy to get to. Train from either Stalybridge or Ashton to Victoria and cross over the platform and train for one stop to Salford Central. The entrance to the Museum is just over the bridge from the station.
There is a good café and terrace where we could have lunch before the tour. I am going to need numbers fairly soon for both the tour and the café.
Please let me have numbers for both the visit and if you want to meet beforehand to eat in the café. There is a separate sheet to sign this evening.

Up-dates to My Tameside Website:
Photographs of Tameside churches. With many thanks to Mike Berrell, I now think I have a full set of photographs of Tameside Churches. These can be used for personal projects but copyrighted to Mike Berrell.
I have also started a newish page listing various bits of local news and information and about any talks locally that people might be interested in.
I have discovered lots of entries for Tameside churches and have completely rewritten my pages concerning Parish Registers, Burial Records and the IGI to take account of the latest information. http://tamesidefamilyhistory.co.uk/contents.htm

Tameside BMD Project:
In December our Tameside BMD Project was honoured with a visit to the Mayor’s Parlour. Councillor John Sullivan (himself a keen family historian) congratulated the Group. For fuller details see Bob Kirk’s article in this month’s edition of the Cheshire Ancestor. Well done to Bob, who has spent nine years of his life on the project and to everyone who has helped over the years.
Certificates going up in April:

Very Good News!!
It is now very easy to tell people about this page. Instead of giving people our long web address, if you just tell anyone to put Dukinfield Group into Google, we are there at the top of the list. It works with all the other groups too.

Bob Kirk and his team in Tameside Register Office have recently been going over the early Registrar Attended Marriages checking for any errors and ommisions, and have also been listing the various venues where the Registrar went out to conduct these marriages. He has produced a list downloadable here in PDF format. This list is very much worth reading to understand the sheer diversity of venues. The very early registers also include some chapels in Oldham since Ashton and Oldham Registration Districts were combined until 1848. Regrettably there are no Hyde venues listed, since these came under Stockport Civil Registration district. So if you are still searching for a marriage in Tameside between 1837-1879, you could try searching CheshireBMD again.
For a fuller explanation of Registrar Attended marriages please visit the Tameside Family History website.

Old and New St Georges, Stalybridge - Burial Records and Monumental Inscriptions.
Alan Smith has been digitising George Clark's hand written copies of the burial registers and inscriptions for Old St Georges Church and the burial registers for New St Georges Church. Alan is an active member of the church congregation and also a member of the Family History Society of Cheshire.
In addition the partially complete Monumental Inscriptions for New St Georges are also now on-line and easy to search. They have only covered the south of the church up to row 12 so far and this section will be up-dated as work progresses.

On Wednesday 11th February Alan Bennett made his first visit to a group as Chairman of the FHSC.
Alan was introduced to the group by their leader Gay Oliver. Alan outlined his background and his aims for the society before demonstrating the new web-site. This was followed by a number of questions from the floor followed by a discussion of ideas for how the FHSC could expand its role top attract new members.
The evening concluded with a demonstration of a few useful web-sites by Gay.

Our old group website contained a list of names people were researching in the Tameside area. It is now a little too difficult to host it on this new website and could conflict a little with our new and revised Cheshire Surname List (see Quick Links). I have now moved the Tameside list to my Tameside Family History website: tamesidefamilyhistory.co.uk/surnames.htm I hope people don't mind, but I didn't want to lose it completely.

This was the first project undertaken by the newly formed Dukinfield Group of the Family History Society of Cheshire. Originally it was only to be a survey of the grave yard and a record of the Monumental Inscriptions therein. However
