The Dinsdale Connection To The Land Family
Ann Dinsdale (Dinsdell) baptized Nancy Dinsdale in Keighley in 1796 married Charles Lewis Land
in Birstall Parish in 1816. Their son John Land born 1818 married Lydia Law in 1857.
Their son Law Land 1858 married Elizabeth Sykes. Law Land and Elizabeth Sykes were the parents
of Percy Land.
The Name Dinsdale
The name was also spelled Dinsdell and possibly Tinsdale and Tinsdeall
The name probably derives from the place name Dinsdale.
There was a township, called Over Dinsdale in the parish of Sockburn in the
North Riding of Yorkshire.
The name was common in the Yorkshire Dales.
George Redmonds (YSS Part II) says about Tinsdale,
"A Holmfirth name now. It is a variant of Dinsdale, which derives
from a place-name in Teesdale, but is difficult to explain. The two villages called
Dinsdale are on opposite sides of the Tees, on land almost encircled by the river,
and one theory is that they were originally detached portions of Deighton just to the south.
Certainly the place suffix was 'halh' (i.e. nook of land) and not 'dale',
which developed analogy with other nearby 'dale' names. Although the naming
expansion of the surname was eventually in the Dales, I also found its way south to
York and Leeds at an early date and it was there that Tinsdale occurred."

The records for the name Land and Dinsdale (In all its forms) are quite limited. The following Dinsdale records were recorded in the parish.

The scarcity of the records and the utter lack of death records most
likely indicates that the family was not living in Birstall Parish.
