St Mary of the Angels, Batley: One-Place Study Update – 1 to 30 September 2022 Additions

This is the latest update of the pages relating to my Batley St Mary’s one-place study. If you want to know more about the background to my one-place study click here. Otherwise read on to discover all the posts, new and old, containing a wealth of parish, parishioner and wider local Batley history.

September 2022 saw the addition of 10 new posts, bringing the total number for the study to 182. Two other pages were updated.

The additions included five weekly newspaper pages for September 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 War Memorial men – Michael and Patrick Cafferty. There is also a new biography for a parishioner who died but is not on the Memorial – Thomas Gannon

More men who served and survived have been identified. I have updated that page accordingly. One new biography has been added to this section in September – that of another Thomas Gannon.

Finally for this month there is one new piece in the Miscellany of Information section, about the 1929 service of consecration of the church and the new altar.

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.
