Apprenticeships, Friendly Societies and Guilds Seminar 21 October 2023 9:30 am - 10:30 am Guild contact: Alan Moorhouse We head to the former pit village of Outwood, north of Wakefield, in Yorkshire’s rhubarb triangle for our next seminar. During our research we discover our ancestors’ occupations. They may have followed in their father’s footsteps, learnt a trade, joined the forces or gone into one of the ‘professions’. By learning more about ancestors’ employment we can understand more about the way they lived, why they might have migrated and to which socio-economic group they belonged. Outwood Memorial Hall, a focal community centre for many local groups, clubs and societies, is off the A61 Leeds Road and just 2.5 miles from the M1 junction 41 via the A650 or 5 miles from junction 39 via the A636.
