Wakefield and Dewsbury

 "The History of Wakefield " by Thomas Taylor (1886) : The full title of the History of Wakefield is “the History of Wakefield – the Rectory Manor with biographical and other notices of some of the persons connected therewith” and includes details of various families with several pedigrees and wills etc. The huge appendix contains details of rentals for copyhold land, list of graves, presentments, inclosure act etc.  "The early History of Dewsbury" by John B. Greenwood (1859) : The “early Ecclesiastical History of Dewsbury” includes extracts from parish registers, the plague, the Rectory Manor etc. There is no index for this book (but the lack of this is made up for by being machine searchable).
