Halton, West Yorkshire

[jsm]

Does anyone know what registration area Halton (Leeds) would have been in around 1845??  Trying to find a birth/baptism record for a Joseph Dobson, can't find him under Leeds - thought I'd try Halton, but don't know what it would come under.

Thanks very much!

I have families in Halton on the 1901 census. Registration district for this is Lunesdale, sub district Caton. Don't know if it was the same for the dates you are looking at.

Sorry, different Halton I think. The Halton I have is in Lancashire.

If it is the Halton near Leeds, I would think this is the nearest one .. ?

Just checked and unless I'm badly mistaken Halton Gill is just over 50 miles away? 

Kind regards,

Thanks for your help - unfortunately, it seems to confirm what I've found before.  He could be  from Whitkirk, could be from  Hunslet, could be from Leeds.  I thought when I found the Halton reference that might clarify things.  Ah well.

Wozzle, you  say there are also five births regd in leeds of a joseph dobson, could you post the one in 1846 for me please.

Which three Joseph Dobson's born in that registration district in 1845.
(March qtr, Sept qtr and December qtr .. and one in 1846 ..)
 did you find Pels? 

I have followed some J Dobsons forward (and found they married the wrong women) so just wondering if either of you two have come up with a different J Dobson, that I haven't tried yet.  He has driven me mad for ages!!

Thanks a lot,
