I'v found my Moffitt/Murfitt ancestry, but not the Mason or Smith ancestry.
Martha Mason was born 25 Mar 1810 Armley, Yorks daughter of William Mason and Martha Smith. she was their youngest. we have information on her and her siblings, but not much on their parents and no copy of the baptism records.

William Mason bmd unknown father Christopher mother unknown
wife Martha Smith bmd unknown parents unknown
children;
 Christopher MASON c: 4 Sep 1798 in Armley,Yorkshire,England probably died in infancy
 Christopher Columbus MASON b: 21 Dec 1800 in Armley,Yorkshire,England c: 22 Feb 1801 in Armley,Yorkshire,England
 Sarah MASON c: 11 Dec 1803 in Armley,Yorkshire,England
 William MASON c: 30 Apr 1809 in Armley,Yorkshire,England
 Martha MASON b: 25 Mar 1810 in Armley,Yorkshire,England c: 2 Jun 1811 in Armley,Yorkshire,England

Christopher (father of William) appears to have had these children, and this may be his wife;

possible marriage to;
Sarah DEWHURST
Marriage: 15 Jul 1761
Saint Peter, Leeds, Yorkshire, England

this might be him
Christopher MASON
Sex: M

Event(s):
Christening: 28 May 1735
Fewston, Yorkshire, England

Parents:
Father: George MASON
Mother: Mary


 George MASON c: 4 Dec 1761 in Armley,Yorkshire,England
 John MASON b: 21 Jul 1763 in Armley,Yorkshire,England
 Mary MASON c: Jan 1764 in Armley,Yorkshire,England
 Susanna MASON c: 5 Jan 1766 in Armley,Yorkshire,England
 Christopher MASON c: 22 Nov 1767 in Armley,Yorkshire,England
 John MASON c: 4 Mar 1770 in Armley,Yorkshire,England
 Sarah MASON c: 5 Nov 1772 in Armley,Yorkshire,England
 William MASON c: 2 Jun 1774 in Armley,Yorkshire,England

I found these two possibles for Martha Smith on the IGI, but I can't tell whether either is her.

Martha Smith chr. 7 Jul 1786 Morely Yorks, England, New Chapel Independant, b. 4 Jun 1786 father Thomas, mother Betty

or more likely;

MARTHA SMITH
Female
~~~~~~~~
Event(s):
Birth: 08 OCT 1774

Christening: 06 NOV 1774 Saint Peter, Leeds, Yorkshire, England

Death:
Burial:
~~~~~~~~
Parents:
Father: JOHN SMITH


I'd like to verify these and extend the ancestry.


Sorry!

I'm not the Thread owner and only helping Mike as a one off.
In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

if you trace back far enough I was the thread owner, I started it. it has gone exceedingly off track, but I decided not to protest. we all have a need for research help. I started it with a request for information on my Moffitts. I still am requesting information.

KathyM started this thread back in Nov 2004 as an open request for look ups in Leeds archives  but her last post say she could no longer do this for Mike as she lives in North Yorkshire Now!

 I assumed Mike had not noticed this aged thread date and came on only to help him out.

 As for you being the thread owner and your ancestry as this thread being Moffits beats me.

Maybe you have got this thread mixed up with another

I have booked to go to the Leeds Archives in two weeks time - if anyone would like a free - look-up in the parish records (Leeds, Wakefield, Bradford, areas)....preferably with a specific church & rough idea of dates !


I will spend the morning doing look-ups !  let me know !

Hi Mike.
 

http://www.yorkshireindexers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=1734
 
My friend in ancestry rootschat libby9 and I have researched this concluding that we think think Agnes had Alzheimer's or similar long term illness, Nathaniel had a split life with both of Agnes and Georgina ! Either Divorced, Bigamist or Annulment? what was fact Nathaniel was trapped. We can add nothing further too this issue !, there maybe hospital records in Leeds, York or Poorlaw records but you would need to contact the repositories that hold these records and that can be expensive.

We further add! that if you had given the above link before with your first reguest it would have saved us a lot of wasted time ??? reseaching the censuses.................  :(
 
Regards
