Ann was my husband's 5th gg, baptised 2 November 1766 in Penistone, Yorkshire, father Jacob. On 14 November she married James Kenworthy in Sheffield.
I've found a marriage of Jacob to Tabitha Wagstaff on 29 May 1766 in Penistone.
And then it stops. Can't find a birth of Jacob or Tabitha ...
Can anyone help?
Thanks for reading.

You've posted in the How to Use RootsChat board. I'll ask a moderator to move your post to the Yorkshire (West Riding) board where you may get more help. :D

Note "transcript only" - the original not available. Found possible 6 siblings starting 1734 thru' 1747 - none identify mother.

That gets me started, thanks :)
Can't find Thurskinholes but have found Thurlstone ...

There's an image of it on FamilySearch. But not a great one!
Right hand page, near the bottom, under the entry for John, son of John Wagstaff

FindMyPast marriage (transcript only)
Joseph Wagstaff, of this parish, All Hallows, Kirkburton, married 10 Jun 1734 a Martha Goldthorp.
Re. Thurskinholes, the baptismal transcript of one possible sibling's PoB reads "Shuskincholes"!

Found a baptism of Joseph Wagstaffe in Kirkburton on 2 November 1707

Some of the images of Wagstaff baptisms on FS will hopefully be better than Tabitha's.

Excellent, thank you.

One of Tabitha's possible FindMyPast transcript siblings is a -
Martha Wagstaff, bap 17 April 1743, Kirkburton, father Joseph.
That's all it contains - no All Hallows or Thurskinholes or similar. The given name "fits" Joseph's marriage to a Martha - and could be Tabitha's twin. But cannot find the image on FamilySearch? Other possible siblings on Family search eg Grace 11 Mar 1747, Betty 27 Oct 1745 come up as "image unavailable"
Added - browsing forward from the Tabitha image to Oct 1745 found the image of Betty's baptism.

Thank you. I couldn't find anything on FS ...?
Looks like I've got a busy weekend.

The searchable index of the baptisms on FS has been done from the bishops transcripts (but the microfilms not viewable at home)
The parish register microfilms can be viewed at home, but are not indexed

Wondering whether Tabitha could be Martha ...
