I would be very interested if there is anyone with info on the Cawoods of Otley West Yorks
My G Grandmother was Eliza Thornton b1853 (nee Pollard) and her mother was Emma Pollard ( nee Cawood) b1815.

Bettalma,
I wonder whether this could be the baptism of your Emma Cawood at All Saints Parish Church, Otley.
Baptism 25th December 1814 Emma Cawood daughter of Jonathan and Sarah Cawood a Nail Maker, born 26th September.
If you think that this is your Emma Cawood there are baptisms for several siblings if you would like the details.
Best Wishes

Bettalma,
Please accept my sincere apologies for telling you that I had found baptisms for possible siblings of Emma, I am afraid that I had looked at the wrong baptism records for the other children, their parents were John and Hannah Cawood.
The details I posted for Emma are correct, but I wonder whether she was Jonathan and Sarah's youngest child. The reason why I say this is that the baptism records which I have begin in 1813 so any older siblings would not appear on the cd which I have.
I do know that Wharfedale Family History Group have also published a cd of Otley Parish Register Births 1753 - 1812 Marriages 1750 - 1812 and Burials 1752 - 1812 so maybe any older siblings which she had may appear on that cd.
The cd can be purchased via their website www.wharfedalefhg.org.uk Once again please accept my apologies for misleading you.
If I can be of any further help, please just let me know.
Best Wishes

I believe that Jonathan was Emma's father.
I will have to contact WFHS to get more info. Thanks for your help.
