An error has come to light, where a complete line on a headstone has been omitted. The details are for Sowerby, Steep Lane graveyard, for the grave of BROADBENT grave no. Section D row D7. The full inscription should read :
- Headstone & kerb "The righteous shall be in / everlasting remembrance."/ WILLIAM HENRY BROADBENT / died 1913 aged 71 years./ MARY BROADBENT his wife, died 1924 age 87 years / MARY ELIZABETH BROADBENT died 1952 aged 76 years. / “Resting” /
Thanks to Dr. Broadbent from New Zealand for bringing this to our attention.
A further data error has come to light recently on the Elland St. Mary’s BMD CD :- ·
- Baptism entry for 21 Feb 1636 – Surname given as CORKER should be COCKER – Joseph son of John of Rishworth.
Apologies for this transcription error.

Monumental Inscriptions CD. Additional information has come to light regarding grave F/214 for PEARSON in Copley St. Stephens. The full entry now reads "Pointed Pottery tile kerb surround - No inscription. Advised that this is the grave of Albert Henry PEARSON d. 2/11/1970 aged 91. His wife, Alice d. 22/6/1960 aged 90 and her daughter Mabel d. 6/8/1970 aged 73." Our thanks to Ms. Audrey Lushnikov for this addition.
On the Monumental Inscriptions CD the heading “General Index” has been inadvertently omitted at the top of the left-hand frame on the Home Page. This has been corrected on the next version of the CD V1.4.
On the Monumental Inscriptions CD we have received further information on an inscription. It is the inscription on grave no. H1 in the Ovenden, Nursery Lane graveyard. It is a grave for Appleyard and the date of Betty Appleyard’s death (which has been obliterated by paint) should read January 11th 1863
Halifax 1851 Census CD – We have recently discovered that 2 of the links in the body of the text on the “Instructions for Use” page give the result “Unable to Display this page”. Neither is crucial as there are alternative links that work correctly. They are :-
- Item 2. Townships Descriptions. The alternative link can be found in the Menu Bar at the top of the screen.
- Item 7. Street Index – The alternative link can be found as the 2nd item on the left of the screen under the heading “Indexes & Townships”.
This affects all versions of the CD up to and including V2.1. The errors have been corrected in versions V2.2 onwards.
We have encountered a problem with reading our CD publications on MAC computers running on OS version 9.2.2 and earlier. This concerns the system’s inability to read some types of filename, and comes up with “File not found” plus some of the “buttons” not being displayed properly.
This problem can be solved by downloading a piece of freeware and installing it on to your MAC computer. The site to visit is http://www.tempel.org/joliet/
Please note that this software solution is only suitable for Mac OS 9.2.2 and earlier (down to System 7.5.5), but can not be used in OS X.
Please also be advised that Calderdale FHS is not responsible for any aspect of this freeware and therefore you download and install such software at your own risk.
MAC Operating Systems.
We have attempted to offer this CD to as wide a range of users as possible. However, due to technical problems, we regret that we are unable to guarantee that this system will work with any MAC Operating System before Mac OS 8.6

We apologise for these errors which will be corrected on the next release of the CD. Those people with v2.0 may wish to print these details out to keep with the CD.
The version number can be found in the text file General/VersionLog.txt and is the last entry on that file. The version number is also contained in the title of the CD, so that if you have a CD with the title CFHSCENSV20 this is Version 2.0
