Trying to find Kilner

John Report 17 Feb 2007 09:19

I need a bit of help.... My Great Grandfather was Harry Kilner who founded Lion Fireworks in Lepton, Huddersfield. His Father was John Kilner who was married to Mary Jessop. They married in 1896. I think John's father and mother were George and Elizabeth who lived in Square Fold in Lepton according to the 1851 census. I'm trying to confirm this and find their birth dates/parents. Can anyone help me in my quest ? Nick Kilner
