    Allan,

    No specific ideas about Penistone but there are several local history societies covering Yorkshire which you could try. They might have transcribed some registers.

    If you think there could be a Will the Borthwick Institute are very helpful and don't charge much to check 4 or 5 years of entries.

    If any of your people have wandered over to Calverley there's a brilliant website with loads of local stuff transcribed - CalverleyInfo Entry

    Good luck!

        Isn't it just, Barbara?

        I just wish more of my family came from there!

          I have a line from Calverley, Pudsey, Morley and Tong so it's a great find for me.

            According to GENUKI the records are held at WYAS at Wakefield.

            Yorkshire Parish Registers Home Page has some transcripts available, not sure if Penistone is amongst them though.
