Daniel Dyson born in 1797 or 1802 or 1804 and on the census records gives his birthplace as Sowerby Bridge.
(A possible match is an IGI record for a birth of Daniel Dyson from Scammonden (within 10 miles from Sowerby Bridge) with a Mother named Ann. One of Daniel’s children was called Ann, and notice how Harriet’s parents’ names have been passed on to their children so we could possibly be looking for a George, Alexander as a father for Daniel.)
Daniel Dyson and Harriott Wright
 St Michael’s and All Angels Church |
IGI
records a marriage between Daniel Dyson and Harriet Wright on 19 Oct
1823 in Haworth, Yorkshire, England.
The Haworth Church Parish Records show the marriage of Harriet to Daniel, Oct 19 1823 in St Michael’s and All Angels Church, and interestingly Patrick Bronte (Charlotte, Ann and Emily Bronte’s Father) married them. They both marked X and so were probably illiterate. Witnessed by: William Brown, Joseph Fawthrop.
According to Alexander’s birth certificate Daniel was married to Harriet Wright and was a wool comber (a person employed in the woollen mills to operate the machines that separate the fibres ready for spinning) when Alexander was born on January 15th 1840 in Howarth.
