KIRKHEATON O.P.C

Kirkheaton Online Parish Clerk

In the course of a one-place study, a prime objective is to transcribe the registers of christenings, marriages and burials of the parish church so they can be restructured into family order in a database. This is then correlated with other archival records such as tax, land and testamentary documents, and published as a biographical index. When such a study is done scientifically as a precursor to academic analysis, it is known as family reconstitution.

The term one-place study is sometimes also used for a micro history of a single urban street and its residents, including the changes in land ownership, agricultural or commercial activities.

Unlike a local history, which focuses on the past as described by residents, a one-place study can provide a statistical approach that reveals hidden relationships, particularly in homogeneous village communities where almost the entire population has inter-married over the centuries, and may even disprove local legends.
From Wikipedia
Because Kirkheaton is now three separate parishes Lepton, Moldgeen and Grange Moor. This site also includes Mirfield, it is named a Online Parish Clerk. (see One Place Study Index )
