Charles Lewis Land of Heckmondwike and Ann Dinsdale of Drighlington were married by banns 25th February 1816 in the presence of John Kelly and Joseph Shaw. Charles and Ann both signed their names. (Birstall Parish Bishop's Transcripts)

The marriage was witnessed by John Kelly and Joseph Shaw. Joseph Shaw was the parish clerk.

The clerk wrote DINSDILL but Ann's signature looks more like DINSDALE.

This is the only record for either Charles Lewis Land or Ann Dinsdale in Birstall parish.

It is noted for several copious springs of Spa Water, which is slightly impregnated with sulphur. Though it extends over only about 760 acres it had 14,152 souls in 1851···. The Methodists and Independents have commodious chapels in Holbeck township·· Holbeck cemetery, at Beeston hill, comprises about nine acres of land purchased at the cost of about 2500 pounds in 1856.
