Hallo,
there once was a man named Joseph Fallowfield. A husbandman living in Holme upon Spalding Moor.
He was married to Ann X and had (at least) three sons:
Thomas 1735 - my ancestor
Christopher 1736 (a bit of a wild one)
Joseph 1742
Old Joseph was buried in 1770.
So far so good but the question is who were his parents? and where was he born?
I am presuming his father was Thomas because that is what he named his eldest son but I cannot find Joseph's in the registers that I have had access to and niether can I find a marriage for him.
Various theories abound but I am yet to find a baptism record for a Joseph Fallowfield sometimes around 1715 and up to ten years before in the area. The Fallowfields were based in Pocklington before spreading throughout much of the East Ridings. Is anyone able to help or offer ideas?
Regards
Kirk
