• Ann Squire (1814-1879) m William Robinson (1809-1864)
• Elizabeth Robinson (1833-1912) m John Carter (1828-1893) 
• Mary Alice Carter (1858-1945). 1881/1891: at home in Skircoat, a woollen weaver. Skircoat is now a suburb of Halifax but was in Sowerby Bridge District, and the boundaries seem to have shifted over time. 1901/1911: at home in Sowerby Bridge.
• Ann [Annie] Carter (1860) m Fred Hellewell (1859) at St John the Baptist, Halifax in 1882. 1881: at home in Skircoat, Halifax; a woollen weaver. He was a shipper and grader of cotton, and they lived in Wakefield Road, Skircoat. By 1911, he was a carpet labourer.
• This is likely to have been at the Albert Mills, set up in Sowerby in 1889 by Henry James Homfray, who had been trained in Kidderminster, the centre of British carpet making. The bulk of the production remained in rugs until after WWI. (My photos of Kidderminster, including some carpet heritage buildings are here.)

• George was a wool feeder, and they lived at 15 Bradley Terrace, Wakefield Road, Skircoat. In 1901/1911, he was a publican, and they lived at 24 Wakefield Road. Malcolm Bull tells us that these dates bookended his time at the Ram's Head, Sowerby Bridge; in 1917 and again in 1919, they had the Fountain Head, Pellon. He also has this: he was a woollen finisher (1881), a mechanic (1889), a mechanic driller (1891), a driller (1897). While at the Ram's Head, he was a bass player in the King Cross Band, whose band room was next door. They once played a command performance for Queen Victoria. You wouldn't know (here) that it was (once) a pub but for the lettering on the door. It is indeed 24 Wakefield Road.

• The pub would have been handy for my own visits to the Lloyds Banking Group (Halifax) data centre at Copley. The massive data centre is not photogenic (although there is a good view from the parts with windows). It is, however, almost overlooked by the prominent Wainhouse Tower, built in 1875 with the various aims of satisfying the Smoke Abatement Act of 1870, being an object of beauty - and, therefore, the 'tallest folly in the world', and an observatory to challenge the privacy of a feuding neighbour.
