I have just discovered that i have a connection with the Folds of Daneshouse. Can anyone help me with anything to do with the Folds? My maiden name was Folds, I live in Hertfordshire and I am also disables, so I cannot get to the Burnley area to do any research :(
Anything would be great!!
Thanks

Hi Glenys, It sees alot of the older spellings in may things had an extra F in them :) as Stanley says, alot of the enumerators often gave their own version. Not all them could spell too well.
I would love the children please, that would be great.

If the FF was stylised or in italics it might mean that it was either an F or possibly an S?
Abbreviations were common and prior to 1700 capital letters used indiscriminately and not all capital letters were available. "fflorenceo" meant "Florence" and this was occasionally a mans name as well as a women's. The double "ff" was also used for "ss" and occassionally a single "f" for "s"

I found this on a Calderdale genealogy site:
In printed and handwritten documents up to the 18th century, ff was used instead of a capital F:

I've learned something there, I've always wondered about 'ff'.

Ok, well i have got my parish registers cd now and i am even more bacfled than ever
With all the christenings it only gives the fathers name, which i kinda expected, but when there are more than onefolds around with the same christian name, how do i find out which of them a child came from? Also found a few words that need explaining a bit. They are UXOR, SEPULT and BASE CHILD OR SON OR DAUGHTER. Also i notice they didnt give the ages of death etc, so once again it is purely guess work on who they were
Now when a death is ini the parish records it says for example william folds son of richard, now how do i know if he is a young child or a man of 40
Sorry to be so dense, but hey you cant have everything

I wish I had read this link before today. I have just spent the last two days in Burnley library trawling those very same registers, and the succeeding dates up to 1777. for Proctors. I should be going again next week. If there is anything particular you want looking up email me directly and I'll see what I can do

PS some of them also lived at Daneshouse or Dancers House before that

Dawn email me privately to let me know what you want. It will also serve as a reminder to do it.
Stanley ff was used even later than the 18th century, it is on the Rev Maylards marriage certifcate of the 1840s, he was described as a diffenter ie dissenter. When I got the copy certificate it came with a little message from the registrar to say they had copied it faithfully but didn't understand what the word was.

I'm sure you are right Sue. These archaisms hang on for a long time. I'm always amused by the arguments about 'Ye' which as I understand it was simply an easier way of writing 'the' but found its way into spoken language as an archaism for 'the'.
