That one has a different wife though.

There were 2 Charles Edward Ackroyds born in West Yorkshire in the April quarter of 1905 - one in Sheffield and one in Halifax.

I think the baptisms above are those for the Halifax boy as I've followed them through to a marriage in 1929 to an Alice Walker.

Marriages Dec 1904
Ackroyd Edward Helliwell Halifax 9a 769 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
BROCKLEHURST Mary Ann Halifax 9a 769 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Miller Mary Hannah Halifax 9a 769
Spencer Charley Halifax 9a 769

Though Hannah sometimes has the variant Ann, so I wouldn't completely rule out Mary Hannah Miller.

Name: Charles Edward Ackroyd

Inferred County: Yorkshire West Riding
Volume: 9c
Page: 655

Charles was born in Sheffield married to Frances Ethel Machon in Nelson Lancs in 1931 and died in Newark on Trent, Leciester in 1959. He was a keen musician, violinst, & sportsman. I am seeking information on his social and employment history. Family gossip has him as a policemen, before marriage, and band master in later years. I know nothing about his parents or siblings.
Help would be appreciated. Thank you.
