MINUTE BOOK OF THE SELECT VESTRY

PARISH OF KNOTTINGLEY

May 25th 1823 to November 10th 1840

The following pages contain a transcription of records taken from the Knottingley Select Vestry Minute Book 'A', as documented between the years 1823 and 1840. The records have been kindly transcribed from the original minute book by Ron Gosney. The Select Vestry Minute Books provide information which may be of use to people researching local family history and in this respect, many of the surnames recorded in the Minute Books have been highlighted in bold.

For further information regarding the Knottingley Select Vestry you are directed to Terry Spencer's intensive study of Aspects of Civil Administration and Social Development in Nineteenth Century Knottingley, Chapter One.

This is an on-going project and additional records to complete the series up to 1840 will be added in due course.
