Malhamdale People Finder

Whether you are looking for lost relatives from your family tree or are just interested in the names of the people who have lived in Malhamdale, you should find this database interesting, as it contains an exstensive list of those who were reported to have been born in Malhamdale or have lived there in the various census years.
Many people passed through the Dale, some stopping only briefly and this database contains over 8,000 names and provides information on where all those people with Malhamdale connections were living at the time of the 1841-1901 census enumerations.

You can simply browse the data or use the search facility to locate specific entries. The search doesn't have any wildcard search functions, so the best way to find all possible name variants is to browse the relevant part of the database. The database is as complete as possible, but is subject to some errors and you may find some people missing or one included from elsewhere. For instance Calton, Carlton and Carleton were used interchangeably as spellings, so it isn't possible to discern if a person was from the Dale's own Calton, Carleton in Craven or one of several other "Carltons" in Yorkshire.

NOTE : We are using a free outside service to host the database, the data may be slow to appear and we apologise for the additional Google advertising you can also see, but hope it doesn't stop you using this useful database.

A gazetteer may prove useful to find some of the places mentioned and there is a useful list of online gazetteer links maintained on GENUKI.
