I too record things without noting the source.

Stephen's tree starts with Joseph/sarah hichliffe? but I have noted joshua/ann thicket as their parents - could have been from June's tree but not sure although i'm certain it would be a link when I subscribed to ancestry. I've also scribbled on the tree that the parents of Robert Gaunt b.1635 were James Gaunt b.1600and Presilla ? b.1600probably from the same source.

I will subscribe to ancestry again in the autumn and search Penistone parish records which are very old and date back to 1600 if not a little earlier. There are other church records which are fairly local ie.Silkstone so could be any of them.

The old family tree I have was prepared by Stephen who is descended from the other half of the Gaunts. No proof but he does say that Joseph Gaunt's parents were Joseph Gaunt d.1749/Sarah d.1747.
He also says that this Joseph was the grandson of Robert Gaunt from whom the two Gaunt familys of denby are descended. I think I took the date of 1630 from another tree I was linked to a while ago but no proof.
The next descendants could have been Joshua and johnathan, sons of Robert hence the two families

I haven't done a lot of research as yet but someone gave me a family tree 30 years ago, before modern technology, which shows I am descended from Jonathan Gaunt and his second wife Ann Wainwright. No DOB shown but would be between 1762 and 1766.
Penistone church is very old and dates back to 1500's and I think parish records are available on 'ancestry' from the late 1500's.
I must subscribe again when autumn comes around and I have more time but they are very hard to read.
Although I don't know them personally there are still Hobsons living in Denby Dale.
I've sent load of photos etc from history books of Denby, which I have ,to  Wiggy in Australia including the gravestone of Joseph and Sarah.
We are all descended from Robert Gaunt born 1635.

I too am related to Joseph Gaunt and Sarah Batty from Denby. They would have been my 4x g grandparents.

I still live only 8 miles from Denby and am very familiar with this area.

When you mention that they were married in Penistone it could well be they were married in Denby as there was a chapel in the village prior to the church being built around 1865. All parish records were held in Penistone as the parish church but they are marked in their registers as taking place in Denby.
