The following is a transcription of the Western Subdivision of Agbrigg Brewster's Calendar 1803 (reference QE32/15) held by the West Yorkshire Archive Service.

Notes:

  • The transcription is given "as is" with no guarantees of accuracy. The spellings of some of the more unusual personal names have been checked against census and other records. Please consult the original document (available online at ancestry.co.uk) if you need to confirm any details. Transcription notes appear in square brackets.
  • The Township of Saddleworth is named as "Quick" in the document — although situated in Rochdale, it was historically part of Upper Agbrigg. Curiously, the inns in Holmfirth appear to be listed under Quick.
  • "Meltham Half" comprised the then separate townships of Meltham and Netherthong.
