Ah ha thanks!!!

I'd probably go for the parents being Joseph and Martha! Joseph jr had a daughter called Martha and a sons Andrew and George!

Thanks again this is great!

Looking at marriages for the children -

Did Joseph Jnr marry Hannah ROBINSON on 25 Nov 1810?

Stephen LEATHER m Hannah GOLDTHORP on 27 Dec 1818 (BOTP)

other than that there seems to be a lot of LEATHERing going on in the Flockton area (including a possible baptism for Joseph Snr in 1753) and there are LOTS of burials for the name at Flockton too!

I can probably find more on Martha MOSLEY too if you want it?

Hi there

Thanks for all that! Whatever you can find is great!
My theory is that Joseph did marry Hannah but she died and he remarried in 1814 to a Martha Scott in Silkstone.

Regards

Penninah  :D ;D :-*

Hi again Penninah

The Leather Family History Society has Joseph as part of the family tree that I mentioned in my earlier post, going back to the 1540s.  Joseph baptised 1787 was the son of Joseph Leather born 1753 and Martha (Moseley).  Joseph senior was the son of John Leather and Sarah Leach, bla bla.  I could go on but obviously the tree takes up several pages back from and descended down from Joseph.

Several of our members have contributed to this tree.

Hope this helps.
