This is the latest update of the pages relating to my Batley St Mary’s one-place study. If you want to know the background and what this one-place study involves click here. Otherwise, read on and dive right into the latest monthly update.

August 2022 saw the addition of eight new posts, bringing the total number to 172. Two others were updated.
The additions included four weekly newspaper pages for August 1916. I have accordingly updated the surname index to these During This Week newspaper pieces, so you can easily identify newspaper snippets relevant to your family.
I have written two new biographies for a War Memorial man – those of James Garner and James Trainor.
More men who served and survived have been identified. I have updated that page accordingly. No new biographies for these men have been added this month. They will follow in due course.
Finally for this month there are two new school log books. These are for the Boys’ Department in 1920 and the Infant School in 1914.
Below is the full list of pages to date. I have annotated the *NEW* ones, plus the *UPDATED* pages, so you can easily pick these out. Click on the link and it will take you straight to the relevant page.
